Default Need more help

I have found a lot of great info on here but after searching and reading posts I haven't found all of what I need.

I am working on a 75 K20 4x4 and swapping into it a 08 4.8 from a Tahoe with dbw. I have the ecm pin out to work with but I am also looking for the pin out on the plug for the under dash fuse panel, and firewall plug, also needed is the pin out for a stock gauge cluster 06 silverado. I am currently working on identifying all the leftover plugs on the engine harness so any help there would be great too.

Default 1983 GMC High Sierra K2500

1) 1983 GMC High Sierra K2500 w/400, SM-465, NP208
2) LQ4/NV4500/NP241
3) Nothing good yet for pictures, just a dirty motor on a stand and truck I am still driving.

I want to put together a nicely built motor with great driveability, great power, and lots of longevity. Oh yeah, going to look as stock as possible. Looking at GMPP Manifold 88958675 with the FAST Air-Only throttle body 304149 hiding under a correct tall air cleaner. Can't decide if I should have the manifold bosses drilled for injectors or get the throttle body with the injectors on it. Was wanting to use a GM ECM, but I haven't been able to find info on it controlling 4 injectors (FAST) instead of the full compliment of 8 (manifold).

51 Nash (just like this one but more of a race car. This is the other car my father-in-law currently owns) Going for 10.50's in this build and going for a more sinister look, not polished at all



6.2 L92, headwork, cam and FAST 102 Intake w/ T350 to a Ford 9"




This is all being done on a 00 2wd Blazer frame, probably going to see me post a lot of questions about this swap since it's my father-in-laws/my first LS swap build.

Default LS7 into a 1992 ZR1

Hey everyone!

Been a lurker here for a few months...and time I introduced myself.

I'm working on a new track car (for me) to go along with my daily driver...







I bought a '92 ZR1 rolling chassis last year...and had originally planned to drop a 427 Gen 1 into it until my machinist died and all my parts mysteriously were not there when I went to claim them.

SO, now I have to start over from scratch...and since there isn't really any good reason to do it with a Gen 1 motor, I started to research dropping an LSx into it.

Plans are:
  • LS7 with 12.5:1 C/R running e85 or better
  • Heads/cam/intake...shooting for about 650 RWHP...maybe a bit more later
  • T56 with faceplated 2-5 gears
  • Gen 1 Viper DANA 44 rear end
  • C6 Z06 or Z07 calipers & rotors
  • Full cage

With the ZR1 body I can cram 335's under the rear end so I have at least SOME good tire patches to maintain traction. This will be predominately a track/open road race car...street manners are not an issue.

I've already started acquiring some parts...
  • Lexan rear hatch
  • Carbon fiber top
  • Carbon fiber clamshell hood

With the parts already acquired plus the LS7, it appears I'll have already shaved a good 300+ pounds from the car in LT1 trim and 450+ pounds in LT5 trim...all up high so the C/G will drop significantly.

This will be a slow process for me...I am just about to embark on building a new house for a friend. They start the foundation next week.

First I have a frame shop appointment to get the passenger frame rail pulled...it rode a guardrail at the drag strip after a blowout. Bent in ~1.5" and up ~ 1". Passenger door still operates easily...but needs to be addressed first before I start on anything else.



The cage I plan to model after the Greenwood G572 project...











I love that you can ACTUALLY see back between the "seats" with this design...basically putting a roll hoop above each seat.

Also, with the floor supports this way I can eliminate the "C" beam connecting the trans to the differential...and strengthen the entire drivetrain.

I hope to have it done by next year (2014) in time for track season...but I may be dreaming with everything I have on my plate.

Gonna be a fun project...can't wait to get started and will certainly keep everyone apprised of the progress as I plug away at various portions.

There is a wealth of knowledge here...you guys rock!

Using 99 Firehawk donor car for LS1 into 69 Camaro. I plan to use the engine, automatic trans, computer, harness and throttle cables. What other parts will I need to use and what can I make fit from this wrecked 99 Firehawk donor car? Radiator? rear end? disc brakes?
