Re: just started another lsx swap
engine is chilling and ready to mount. a transmission is needed. clutch, t56 bell housing and i have a set of 4th gen pedals.
harness and exhaust will be left for last.
were thinking of taking out the old dash and getting started on mounting the 4th gen dash. center console and modifying the a/c ducts on top.
ive been working on my car also possibly getting it ready new paint after some issues i encountered on the freeway.
once we get rolling and the engine is in i will make sure to add new pics.
and possibly his old set up and cluster + dash will be up for sale. a so cal classified section will be up by then . lol

Re: just started another lsx swap
well the y pipe i have is a temporary set up i drove the car to the muffler shop and just wanted to get it running.. bit embarrassed to say its a 2.25" piping by flange collector to an ugly looking y pipe to a 3" i pipe then to the mufflers on the back .. restricted IMO. ?

Talk to Ace Muffler on E. First st in Santa Ana.
They do a lot of custom exhaust work and take pride in their work.

Re: just started another lsx swap
since everyone is talking about ls1swaps and interested in researching lsX specs and info. this is what ive been up to when im not at school working or working on my car which needs some work as well! i guess ill post some progress pics of efrens lsx build.
harness was bought off of tgo member pocket. quality stuff!! looks really good.
ls7 clutch kit off the typical deals on the ls1tech sponsor sales along with the bell housing.
aluminum radiator and all the nice 6an fittings for the fuel are awaiting.
t56 tranny and shifter was recently purchased.
the only things i need as of now are t5 pedals a lot better than the t56 pedals.
t56 torque arm mount that goes in the back .
clutch master cylinder assembly with reservoir.
everything is going to be assembled in one piece. the day its ready to go i will be pulling out the stock tpi. as of now i am parting out a 01 ws6 which will supply me with much of the wiring that is necessary for this project to be done right and look right. pin for the cluster gauges, headlight switch, h vac controllers, evap, and most importantly the fuel pump wiring.
hope to get this car running for l.a. invasion. im sure his stock differential will not last because i know hes going to be excited to drive this car with the new motor. hes stepping up to some real power

How much for the SLP runners and how much for the dash pad? And that engine looks bad *** can't wait to see it when it's done.

Re: 5.0 IROC Z lsx swap
Yup can't wait to test fit the engine. lots of work ahead but guarantee that this one is going to come out cleaner than mine
And or course test drive it although that stock differential is probably not ganna hold
I have work I also have my car to work on and another ls to hc ls swap on a 4th gen.
