home made motor plates.. truck oil pan right now..stock,, its too low..i have a one that i cut 3 inches off the bottom,had a shop weld flat plate.. and made my own pick tube..
which went with my old motor i sold,i still have pan,,i jus need to make pick up tube..i was rushed to get it in my car i just put the truck pick up tube and oil pan it in.. clears everything.. just real low.. i'll be putting my home made one on there.. when i swap back to stock stall convertor..

here's the ls3 intake on it..looks so perty!!.. i like the look of the carb one better i think,,but it's still perty,,got a good deal on it,, so i need injectors, harness and ecm,,i also got a ls3 cam to put in it..same specs as ls6 pretty much.. so i basically have a smaller version of ls3 and 9.6 comp ,perfect for boost,,i cant wait to get it done and see some dyno number's with boost,,this is def a budget build..

so far not including trans i have about $1450 into it already..
still need to spend about $1500 or more to boost it,,and only 500-600 to keep it n/a,, toys cost money..

 

Loomkls like mine. I personally like the look of the stock plastic intake. <y .02

 

I'm putting an ls3 cam and ls3 intake in my ly6 also. Can't wait to see how yours performs! It will be sometime before I'm to the point of starting mine.

 

what exhaust manifold is that came out of. I have a truck manifold but hit on the driver side. are you using those exhaust manifold if you going tubo ?

 

they came off of a 08 truck,,, stock manifolds off the ly6..they seem to hug tighter to the motor.. the older truck manifolds didnt work i had to grind them up,,and only used two bolts to hold exhaust,,,worked ,,but not how i would like it to work,, tjese newer ones went right in,,cleared everything,, only ginded 1/8 off passenger side just to be safe..

yea it should run pretty good with just ls3 cam and intake ,hopeing for a lil over 400 at the crank,,not bad for stock parts,,

turbo deal,,i have came up with a crazy ideal to do a rear mount,, and flip the intake manifold backwards,,cut hole in fire wall.. route the charge tubing under car and cut hole in floor bord.. real stealth type look,, .

or just use the same setup they use on trucks,, keep one manifold on driver side and mahe a log type manifold on passenger side ,,clean and simple.. .maybe run a water to air intercooler,,i have enough room in engine bay..

The stock TB (car intake) doesn't clear the truck WP does it?

 

If you not going to use the manifold. would you sel them .I still cant find a decent set yet.

 

yea im having a truck intake come in too .. i bought it before the ls3,, then saw the ls3 and bought it.. so i gota sell one.. depends on my budget.. and looks.. i dont mind the look of a truck intake.unique..haha.. i read somewhere that the truck tb will go on it and clear the waterpump... if not i'll flip it upside down,, i get the dang thing to work..

 

waiting on the truck crank pully to come in so i can install the ls3 cam,,do it all at once..

 

looks good i like that orange. i would have done that if by block was cast.

 

parts came in today.. autoparts didnt have the crank puller in...

so i took some time and made me a valve spring compressor.. redneck style

so now i need to buy some ls3 springs....

 

You're right that is so redneck but I like it. are you selling the exausth manifold ?

 

nah..i'll be keeping them.. there are some forsale in the truck section.. he wants 80 bucks.. i thought about picking them up just to have another set.. but i'll spend that money on some springs..

 

lookin good so far man

 

it does clear the tb.... very close.. i still do not have gaskets on it..so might raise it just a tab.. but it clears.. [IMG][/IMG]




i got the truck harness today..!!.. i set it on top of motor to figure where everything goes.. what i need to cut..etc.. well i plan on not cutting it at all..besides a/c and few other misc things.. i will need to extend 1 or 2 injector whires to reach.. and extend map sensor wire..but other than that its going in as is.. and im going to run ecm insside the car with the fuse box i make for harness. i think it looks real clean as is.. save me some money..
these are pictures with the harness on it.. [IMG][/IMG]
