Any carbed LSx pics?
Any carbed LSx pics? Looking for pics of the finished product becauce I'm not sure how the coolant hoses go, and where to tap for temp sensor and oil pressure sensor. Any detailed pics would be greatly appreciated.
Water temp and oil pressure stayed in the same places as stock, just used SAE to Metric (I made mine) adapters to adapt the Autometer gauges to the metric ports.
steam line goes to the top of the waterpump to a port I drilled and tapped and used a brass fitting to attach to rubber hose.

for the temp gauge, i used the port on the pass side, rear, and used an adapter from street & perf, metric to npt
for the oil pres., i drilled/tapped the small block off on the oil pan, next to the oil filter-S & P also has an adapter for that if you wanted
i ran the steam line from the heads to a port i welded into the top rad hose area of the radiator
for radiator hoses, i used 2000 camero upper/lower, on an a body AFCO radiator-i run a procharger, vette style, and the upper hose fits right around it like it was made for it

For the temp sensor i ran a 1/4" tap through the hole in the passenger side head (im running autometer gauges and senders) and used an adapter. For the oil pressure i took the stock pressure sender and broke the top off, drilled it out and tapped it for 1/8" pipe and I run a line to my autometer mechanical pressure gauge.
For the steam vent i drilled the water pump right next to the outlet and tapped it for 1/8" pipe and put a barb fitting in it so i could run a rubber line to the tube on the heads.

Water temp kinda sucks since the metric fitting in the head is so small that a typical sensor won't fit inside. I drilled out the plug for the block heater to install a stock Datsun sensor.

Automter PN 2277 for 1/8 to M12x1.5 for the coolant temp sensor.
I just used a 1/2" NPT T with my remote oil filter and put my oil pressure sensor right before the oil returns back into the block.
Heres a pic of mine, not quite finished yet.
