^^^^^Ls2 do you have any pics of the install? Or are you in the planning phase?^^^^^

 

ive got quite a few pix!

i just finished my wiring phase and moving on to getting the rest of the front clip back together...

 

Anybody in here thinking about running a FAST system? I was thinking of spending the extra money and getting more bang for my buck. I aint going huge on the motor just a iron 5.3 with ls1 accesories, reworked 5.3 heads, of course cam but dont know which one, and oh yeah a small turbo to push 6-8psi. What would be some advantages and disadvantages or extra things to think about for boosting?

 

I don't think (could be wrong) that a 5.3L needs a FAST a LS6 manifold would be more than enough and a hell of alot cheaper too. Maybe even look into the one from TPI specialties the Oval 1200cfm gimmick prolly more than you need still.

 

Sooo where are they? When you get the chance....

 

I wasnt talking about a FAST intake, I was talking about a FAST stand alone ecu system.

 

Sounds like you've been listening to that fullsize turbo truck guy Parish.

 

gotcha my bad..... I did look into that at one point to run a Ram Jet it was major exspensive though.

 

i havent made them public. i can send you some if ya want... anything in particular you wanna see?

 

Is that what he is running?? I know the truck and got his videos but didnt know he was running a fast system.

 

Just looking for the general stuff like pan type and clearance and exhaust and maybe some stuff about the trans and what you did for a shifter, really just anything unique to your swap. I'm looking for the sticking points hopefully I'll start the swap early next year. On the flip side if you are looking to do some brakes or suspension upgrades let me know.

 

Yeah he posted in the pcm/tuning section recently about how the fast system is supposed to be pretty good.

 

What did the t56'ers do for the crossmember in the trucks or blazers?And also "BIGDEES",on the fuel system,you say simply get the vett filter and nothing else is needed or do I have that wrong?My final truck for the conversion is a 99 4cyl 5 speed regular cab that was bought specifically for this conversion

 

I don't know about the four cylinder fuel pressure (60psi?), pump (same as 6cyls?), and fuel feed line (3/8?). The vette filter/regulator takes the place of trying to use the regulator that is part of the fuel pump assembly on the f-body. As in, I didn't need to mess with my pump or fuel lines (before the motor). You will need to figure out a way to adapt your fuel lines to work with the filter/reg though...but you have to adapt lines for the motor anyways .

 

wasn't me. i dont know anything about the fast. i am runing a megasquirt. it works good and doesnt cost much.

 

ah nuts....I was talkin about you but I guess I mixed up the management systems. Sorry bout that.

 

ok, i have yet to figure this out, but on a 2000 blazer, for the ls1/4l60e swap. does anything need to be done to the factory cross member.

 

I don't believe so. Except maybe some elongating of the bolt holes. But I'm sure some one here knows for sure.

 

Are you askiing about the front corssmember under the oil pan, or the transmission crossmember?
