there are enough guys doing this swap, maybe we can start a sticky here going lt1-lsx. I know there is a sticky on the conversion forum, i'm thinking more specific to lt1 only. I've done a lot of research, merv has done a lot of conversion, matt, hitman, others too, there is enough collective knowledge that we can contribute back to the community

 

Good luck...

 

Good knowledge kind sir, I thought the intent of the front mount cam sensor was for the 58X. Learned something new.

Now, shut up until you're needed again...... lol

 

This one's pretty close, courtesy of Merv (again, lol).

Damn shame too, this car was nice. This one was the one that donated it's M9 to mine.

 

Man that's a good idea..below is one of my best threads with a ton of info, it never made sticky because I think it'll **** off alot of the sponsors..
But in this LT1 section there should be a LTX -> LSX Sticky with info.

The Front Mounted Cam Sensor is inplace becase of the design of them Aluminum Blocks, they are made differently in the Valley.

Yea, but the MCSS is sexier..

Here is the best thread I have..all kinds of links and info..IMO should make a damn good sticky..

Don't try to act like you're not down...lol

I didn't think about the different design block, do LS2s have the same support ribs in the lifter valley like aluminum BBCs?

 

This..



Just the way its made..

 

good info in those threads, merv what do you charge to mod the harness? i found one for $100... main parts i need to start with is the f body oil pan and pick up tube.and then the front acc

 

the engine im picking up is out of a 2002.

 

2002 truck? What kind?

 

im going to guess a silverado

 

i managed to get the heater hoses and the main engine harness out of the car tonight, along with the ecm and clean up the oil/grease some... i wont get it painted this weekend but i should have the engine bay completely stripped down and ready to spray

 

wow 100 for an ls car harness is dirt cheap!!! buy as many as you can at that price!!!

2004 lq4s and up are better as they have the better floating rods..

 

yeah i will settle for this one, he sells them for under $600 for the shortblock... im not a fan of the lower compression ratio but its a start and maybe sometime i can pick up another lq4 to build up... im having a hard time finding a k member for less than a tubular one... which leads me back to why cant i use the lt1 i have with the ls1 pedestals?

 

They wont bolt in. Are you sure it's a 6.0l..?

 

worked on getting the wires out some more, the engine harness is completely out, but the bcm harness is a pita! i rerouted the hood latch cable, and got the abs block taken out, any tips on removing the bcm harness would be great

 

yes im sure its a 6.0 from what he said, im waiting on him to message me back today with his address...

 

looks like a greenlight only the 02 needs work so im snagging an 03

 

364 casting from an 03 with the equal length head bolts in the back of the truck, also picked up the ls1 k member and lca for $50

 

Nice..should work..
