what cable are you all using for the throttle? i found a throttle cable outta a 03 g3500 van with the 6.0 and took the cable to my thirdgen and it fit like a glove. picked up a few other things while at the junkyard so

 

Interesting. That's one of the next things on my list to buy. So it worked perfectly?

 

the only thing i had to do was the bracket on the intake i had to make the opening for it a lil bigger. but other then that yea perfect

 

whaT radiator hoses do i need to get??

 

Ya know, if you do a quick search of this forum you'll get dozens of answers to all of your questions. The rad hose question has been answered in many threads. You can probably do your whole swap just by reading through Ghetto's, BlueZee's and Pocket's build threads.

 

Prob a question you should have already known the answer to before starting the swap

 

so my question still stands, cause for some odd reason the people the replied are *******s and cant just say the part number from dayco or whatever company you get them from. think of it this way. those threads you mentioned are long as **** so why would i spend hours of my time when all i have to do is ask so what radiator hoses do you need for this swap? i no a member used one from a f150 i believe that fit like a glove. but that doesnt help cause guess what i stil dont KNOW!! so anyone whocares to actualy inform the people on this thread instead of saying search it. please relay some light on this thanks

 

Just get a flex hose and stop bs'ing. You have this thread to 12 pages of just stupid questions that we have already covered dozens of times over. I'm wondering why we even entertain this crap of a build. Your real lazy and if you had the chance would have us do then freaking swap for you. Its not that hard to go off someone elses build or use google. And yeah I'm happy to finally unsubscribe to this thread and save me the trouble of deleting the email notification.

 

wow,.... unsubscribe, i could care less. by the way, the ones actually reading this thread know that my wife is terminally ill, and that i am 21 and am going through alot and dont really have all the time in the world. so thanks to the ones who seem to care and sorry if i offened anyone just had a long day and kinda looking for an answer without haveing the break the clock. i dont wanna use a flex hose cause then the only thing aftermarket looking in the engine bay will be a flexhose so.

 

21 sounds right. Grow up and take care of business that's more important than the car. If you don't have the time to research the swap just put it on the back burner for now.

 

I'll help you out since some people would rather just get on here and waste time acting like a jerk instead of just answering the question! Dayco lower hose is 71321 & the upper hose is 71994 (Dayco also). I haven't actually got my engine in the car yet, so I'm not 100% sure of how they will fit, but I got these numbers from reading a bunch of threads. Maybe some of the nicer members can verify the numbers for you.

 

dude seriouisly grow up. I apologized and here you still act like a jerk. you act like a teenager who just got there license taken away. take care of business? lets see here my wife when i met here had a year to live by the doc. four years later she is still her so obviously i am taking care of the more important things. you wonder why the car isnt done cause i have been taking care of the more important things so yea thanks though

dprest thanks i appreciate it. out of five post? i got one that was usefull then you wonder why the thread is 12 pages long?

 

Half of these posts are double posts from you, and you asking the same question more than once, and asking questions that have been answered many times before.

I know your wife has an illness, and that you're receiving money from an accident, and that you still haven't paid Pocket for the harness he made for you, and that you've changed your mind on what you wanna do with the car about 20 times. That is why this thread is 12 pages long.

You can call me an a**h*le if you want, but RockJay is right, you're either too lazy to search the forum for 5 minutes, or else you're just looking for attention for your build thread like some of the other ones posted here.



My suggestion, buy a complete car, swap in the LSx and enjoy it. You're taking on so much, the body, interior, engine drivetrain, wheels etc, when you don't have the money to do all of it.

https://www.thirdgen.org/forums/ltx-...third-gen.html

That thread can answer most of your questions right there, and no searching required.

 

I could use some cash for my paint job, bring the thing to St Louis and I'll finish the swap (labor) for a couple hundred bucks. There's no reason to have a 12 page thread and no running car.

 

well i when i went to the junkyard i found the triangle that go in the corner of the doors. found the door handle covers so the interior is pretty much done the only thing left is the headliner. so pretty darn excited. i gotta go to the junkyard again and get some of those plastic nuts the are for the plastics in the car so get that stuff and ill be set almost got the money together for pocket so in about a week and ill be able to get that back. sorry for stupidity guys. my wife was in the er and uh i hadnt had anysleep for like five days so i am sorry for the long thread. and for me repeating. i just get excited and wanna talk to someone bout it and i feel like this is a avenue for that but since it annoys you guys then ill stop and post the necessary. rockjay sorry shift sorry

 

If using a 3rd gen V8 radiator:
Lower: Dayco 71321 (trimming required)
Upper: 3.4L 94-95 Firebird application, Gates 20893 (also requires trimming)

 

im putting hood pins in cause i got an idea for the intake and i am gonna take a fouirth gen volant intake setup and try to incorperate that comehow so we will see what do you guy think

 

please dont ruin your hood with hoodpins man!!! my friend did it to his and regrets it already!

 

well i already did man lol thanks for caring though. i like them but i wish there was a way to have them but them be flat with the hood

 

so i have paid pocket for the harness, and got a ton of other stuff on the way. i talked to pocket on the phone and he told me to just go with manifolds so idk yet. but i got a question for you guy where do i buy a pcm and have it tuned for the vats to be taken out? and yes i searched and couldnt find anything so any help would be appreciated

 

Get the wiring in and done first. When your ready to tune I can connect you with a couple local tuners. (Labor).

 

Heard good things about this guy. No use for wild combos, but mostly stock setups you cant beat this deal

http://www.ebay.com/itm/LS1-Hot-Rod-...sories&vxp=mtr

 

lol wireing is done bro dont you no pocket is doing it lol he is a beast and he is sending it this week. so i kinda want to ecm so that i do not gotta worry bout it.

pocket funny actually i looked at the same thing. you have heard good things? ever used him?

 

None of my combos are mild or stock-ish in the least, so his services are useless to me. Several members on LS1tech have used him with success, so I provided the link

If I ever did a mild/stockish combo I would go that route because the deal is appealing. I can get a PCM from a JY for about $30, then add $100 for a tune from a close friend. BAM, same as this guy charges. Even if you do it yourself, its hard to beat. Assuming you got HPtuners for free, tuning a PCM takes 2 credits at $50 each. Back to square one

 

Suite yourself, If your running a stock setup then turning things off like VATS is rediculously easy. I wouldn't even want to pay $100 to have it done. Let me know if you want me to check with him if he would tune for you and how much he would charge for a simple VATS dissable. I have seen some horrific mail order tunes from supposed expert tuners. For example wrong injector sizing. WOT tuning only. Timing cranked waaaay back. That market has a tendency to tune extra safe so they don't get blamed for damaged engines. Sometimes to the point of pumping some heavy fuel smoke to rival a diesel.

Just trying to help.

 

no no i appreciate man i was tryin to come off as a dick. do you think if i got a ecu you could hook me up with a tuner?

 

so i got everything ordered........ eveerything is either waiting to be shipped or has been shipped. so i am just waiting for things to get here then the real work starts! sweet!!!

Only hood pins i would ever use, check em out!

 

That is Rodney, im currently running my 5.3/MN12 with his tuned ecm, FLAWLESS.

 

My wife is not doing well. SWAP IS OVER DONE. all parts for sale. even the car and all so everything has to go

 

crap man!!!

 

no jk it stinnks but gotta take care of the more important things

 

anybody want a swap harness got it in today and lets just say anyone thinking of pocket do there harness. should deff let him do it. it is amzing the work he does

 

Brother passed away, wife is terminally ill...you seem to be a lightning rod for misfortune. And yet you have time to attempt a car project.

Not buyin' it. Sorry.

Not unsubscribing either, this comedy is like watching a train wreck (with no casualties other than your wallet) in slow motion.

 

Again? Somebody please buy it so he'll go away.

 

you are crazy man
