Heres a good writeup on the vent hose w/pn's https://ls1tech.com/forums/showpost....5&postcount=13

 

When converting over to the ls2 pan do I leave the 5.3 truck windage tray or do I disgard it and put nothing back. Or, is there also an ls2 windage tray that I have to order. I ordered the pan, op pickup, dipstick, indicator. Also does anyone know what type of adaptor I need to go from the large gm thread on the ls style oilpressure sending unit to the smaller thread that is coming off of my v6. Or can the ls sending unit run my factory v6 op gauge and read accurate.

The LS1 sending unit will not work on the S10 gauge...what alot of us do...to make it easy...is simply take the LS1 sending unit out....break off the bottom metal part...that has the threads in it....and then thread the INSIDE of it to fit the S10 sending unit...then just screw it back in. Works wonders. Somewhere on here the user Brains posted a pic of it...I bought mine from him..but have since made my own also.

 

S-10 Den: New to site and alot of good info. I'm runnin a 98 Blazer w/ LT4 & T56. You were asking about the slave. I assume you are using the pull style clutch. You can use the slave from a camero or firebird but not the corvette. The S10 master does not have enough reservor to operate the larger vette slave.

 

mmm,I dont know about the vett slave,but seems to be fine on the f-body slave

 

I so badly want to start my swap, but I'm still waiting to get more of the parts I need. I'm also waiting for warmer weather so I can ride my motorcycle for the few months my truck is out. I've got so much more big stuff to get though. Arrrrggghhhh

 

how are most of yall building your harnesses from jared

 

That's what I plan on doing when I get all my other stuff together for the swap. I still need radiator and fans and various nuts and bolts exhaust the list goes on and on. I've read all of this post and still can't decide which oil pan is better. I see ls2 pans are being used I have the original ls6 vet pan right now but I think i'll be switching that out . Any of you guys have actual facts on which is better???

 

well i was wanting to know cause i am thinking about ordering my mounts and headers from jared while i get the harness.

 

I ordered and have a vet pan I just took out of the box and it looks to be the easiest to work around in the s series chasis. I built my own harness using an 02 f-body and an oem 4cyl 96 engine harness that I stripped all of the four banger engine management stuff out of then laid the ls1 harness into it and tied everything in and lengthened where I needed to. But I also have alldata at the shop and have done this multiple times so it is not my first rodeo which makes things much easier on top of having all of the right information and equipment. If you are patient and have accurate info you can do it. My opinion is if you have nuts enough to start a swap of this caliber then the harness is the least of your troubles.

 

 

hows your coming Ls2? havent talked in a while. you should get on ICQ sometime.

 

Guess I need to start a thread with pics here pretty soon.

 

well i'm not good with wireing to this extint at all. plus i don't have an ls1 harness i bout my motor without one cause i was planning on getting one from jared.

 

Its to let air escape from the system and to let water completely fill it. I have noticed a few times with my conversions that if all the air is'nt removed it will run hot. I simply install a nipple at the radiator cap that way I can remove the cap to make sure water is flowing from the nipple. If It is'nt, that means there is still air in the system. It will take a few minutes to get the themostat to open and get all the air out.

 

My suggestion is if you have no idea about wiring,fueling,or swaps,I dont think a LSX swap should be your first one.Hell, I have seen the standard small block swaps never get completed befor much less an lsx swap.Just my opinion.

 

i know your not trying to talk me out of my swap cause it won't work. granted i might not know everything but i will learn along the way.

 

Is there any such animal as a hardline to an adaptor so you can run braided fuel lines. Do they make a an style quick connect to fit gm fuel rails.

 

I already like the attitude BluLS1. When I started my swap...I was thinking..maybe its too much...but then pretty much said the same thing. If I cant do it...I will figure out how to do it. And really...its not too hard...just time consuming. And money hungry. But if you can turn a wrench...and have basic skills....you can do it. Just if you need a welder, get someone who can help weld....or same with the electronics. Just ask if you have any questions.

 

Your aint potna,just would hate to see you with a broken truck and it never get finished.If you think you can do it,just jump right in there.I dont know smack about the ls1,but i learned and still learning.I have done about 20 something v8 s10's tho
