LS2 basic questions Back in 2010/11 I got it in my head to do a LSx swap into a 1971 Nova that I had that never ran and bought a salvage 2006 LS2 GTO through Copart.
As it has now been over 11 years since I pulled the LS2 form the GTO I have forgotten so much that I had researched and planned and certainly don't recall the details of the removal.
I would really like to put this LS2 into the Nova in the next week or two but need some help figuring some things out that would otherwise take me countless hours of research to figure out on my own
So if anyone can look through the attached and lend a hand it would be much appreciated, especially the vacuum types of questions (#1-7).
Starting to figure some stuff out:
1: Yes, I will keep
2: I will repair and keep
3: Air intake after MAF?
4: Engine Coolant Hose to radiator ancillary port
5: RH=Brakes which I will use
6: EVAP Canister
7: LH=HVAC which I will cap off.
8: I see they make a cooler line release tool, $29 on Amazon...
9: I remembered I had a fuel line tool from long ago and separated this so good here.
10/11/12: O2 sensors (another not shown)
13: MAF sensor
14: A/C pressure sensor?
15: ?????? <<< Connector
16: ?????? <<< Connector
17: ?????? <<< Connector
18: Sounds like I can use the GTO pump with the Nova steering box with a fitting (thanks Andrew)
19: ?????? <<< Belt sizes
20: ?????? <<< Trans output
21: ?????? <<< Trans shifter
22: ?????? <<< ECM/BCM/etc
23: ?????? <<< ALDL?
Also I ordered Holly motor mounts, oil pan, and trans crossmember so I hope it all works out when I install the brake booster, steering box, and headers.
