This...



LS3 403 Stroker with L92 heads, Callies Compstar Crank/rods, SRP pistons and Bullet custom crank. We're using a modified ARE drysump pan and a Nutter Racing drysump. The induction is stock LS3 with nick williams Tbody and FAST 60# injectors. Everything is controlled by a FAST XFi and FAST dash. The trans is a TKO600.

I can't find a consistent parts list for swapping a 98 ls1 into my 86 cutlass. I'd like to run my turbo 350 trans.and keep everything in stock location. Running efi...dropping motor in and going..going with gto accessories to clear hood. Installing new radiator no sense in using old radiator and taking a chance the ls1 only has 65,000 miles. At some point I may go with small turbo..but just want to drive the car...so I'd like ideas on headers, motor mounts, and also how to adapt my th350 to ls1. Any help would be greatly appreciated

1985 Monte SS

$100 160k 2003 5.3 LM7 from JY with 0411 PCM (No harness)
PSIConversions harness
Moroso solid SBC mounts & EBay 1" setback swap plates
H3 "Muscle Car" Oil pan
Stock truck accessories & intake
LS1 cam, PAC springs, LS9 MLS headgaskets, KMJ studs
Drivers side Fbody manifold
Passenger side truck manifold
04 4L80E w/ transgo HD2
Stock 80E converter at this time. Soon to be 4k CircleD Triple Billet
Iceman crossmember

Total spent for engine swap: $1356
I already had the 80E in the car


the Passenger valve cover rear coil mount boss needs to be hacked off as it just barely touches the AC box but that's about the only interference I've ran into. Still haven't tried the hood but it looks promising. Oil pan does hang lower than I would like. I'll get some measurements of that at some point.

I used Holly conversion mount that put the engine in the factory location.
This lets you keep your original driveshaft.
Use a flywheel from an escalade,it allows you to bolt up your torque converter without modifications.
I used the truck accessories but you can't have A/C with this setup.
Camaro manifolds fit perfectly.
I used an inline fuel pump with a corvette filter.
It's cheaper but the pump is a little noisy.
I used the original radiator with a ford windstar dual fan.
This is what I did with my 78 Z28 6.0 TH350 swap.

Love the Caddy sprech!

Just another '69 Camaro...
2006 LS2\4L65-E from a GTO swapped in last year. Donor car wiring harness and both computers untouched except to turn off the typical crap. BMR cross member. Dingo adapters. Notched the k-member for the alternator to clear. BRP Headman headers adapted to the existing 2.5" Magnaflow system with O2 sensors. Dakota Digital VHX gauges.
Going to the dyno for a tune when the salt is off the roads.

The car 1987 z31 300zx gl 2+2 all original down to the space saver spare that still holds air. The game plan as it sits rite now its kind of a swiss army knife car I want to drag race, go mountain driving, take loose women for rides, hoon the crap out of it on a drift course if I get the itch, and cruise it down the shore during the summer. The combo will be a 2008 5.3 out of a Tahoe with a LS6 intake /cam backed by a t56 and a s13 240sx subframe swap with coilovers and good brakes all the way round on good rubber.
