LTX --> LSX Conversion Sticky
Now I have another small issue. The tach does not work at all. The wire that I pulled from the LS harness to signal the tach under the dash was from C105 G. Apparently not correct. Where should I have taken that from?

why is the ltx rack not usable? i have a 93 camaro that has a old style small block using the lt rack and old style power steering pump with custom lines. im converting to a 5.3L turbo setup. just curious
In actuality, the racks are very similar. I had both racks laying side by side for comparison. There cant be more than a 10-15 degree difference between the two. I had a bit of trouble with the LS1 rack initially, so I contemplated throwing the lt1 rack back in. If you are running truck manifolds, as I am, you may be able to squeeze them. But I cant guarantee this. The linkage will be very close to your manifold. The main advantage of the LS1 rack comes from the hard/fixed linkage as opposed to the jointed piece.

i am running a ls1 shaft that was extended. and will be using foward shorty headers, possibly custom made. but i understand the problem now. i guess i will tackle that when i get to it. thanks for the info guys.
Now I need to figure out why I am not getting fuel on the passenger side. I pulled all of the plugs and the passenger side looks brand new still. Checking over all of my wires and not finding what I did wrong. Anyone have any help to give there? Been looking at this and diagrams for hours. Now what did I do wrong? lol

anyone regret this swap?
I'm fairly noobish to LS scene but have the urge to swap. Every time something on my LT1 goes wrong I just think "if I had a ls1". I have wanted a 5.3 for years. Am I crazy?

Finally about to give up my LT1... Giving me way too many problems and I'm ready to go ls... Is going with a 5.3 worth it or should I wait and try to find a lq for a reasonable price? I know the lq works best with ls3 or 243 heads, but what about the 5.3? Other than intakes, what ls parts are actually interchangeable on the 5.3?
