As the title says, Here we go...

Had a Supercharged 383, Turbo 350 Trans, Ect

I spent the past weekend pulling the motor, trans, exhaust, computer, wiring harness, everthing so i can paint the engine bay too

Sold the long block and intake to start & finish up this build.......I have more sb1 parts FOR SALE

But I wanted something a little more driveable. An LSX's i hear are alot easier to work on too.........

So Now I have the Following:

1. 2002 Ls1
Ls6 intake, Ls6 springs, Ls6 cam
2. T56 Trans
Completely new stage 2 rebuild, with stage 2 clutch
3. Wiring harness is being done by "pocket", he already has it now.

I will post pics later, as I am sure i will have questions

congrats man I know you've been planning this for a long time

can't wait to hear it running

take lots of pictures of the swap

Pocket

iTrader: (24)

Sounds like a hot little toy

LSx engines are alot easier to work on. Plug change took me 5 mins with my 5.3 vs 3 hours on my old 305 if that tells you anything

BTW, harness should be done Wed

Are you keeping the A/C?

1fas92

iTrader: (1)

iTrader: (4)

looking forward to seeing some progress. the snow we've gotten this winter is giving me fbody separation anxiety.....

1fas92

iTrader: (1)

Yea me too, waiting on parts to get here & the rebuilt trans to be finished.

Does anyone have part numbers for the following:
1. The c5 fuel filter
2. All the fuel fittings to complete that part of the swap

Just checking

Almost feels like I am getting a new car

The anticipation is killing me............

1ADan

iTrader: (4)

Pocket posted a great list for the fittings, repost for everyone's benefit

mille_3

iTrader: (3)

Rockauto part number for the C5 fuel filter/regulator is 33737

1fas92

iTrader: (1)

Pocket is the man!!!!!!!

What would we all do without all his hard work!!!!!

1fas92

iTrader: (1)

Is there a specific year or years on the c5 vette filter?
And my understanding is it has a built in regulator, Yes or no?

Thanks,
Robbie

mille_3

iTrader: (3)

99-04 Corvettes. But that part number gets you a filter by Wix. Much cheaper than the GM version and just as good.

1fas92

iTrader: (1)

Thanks for your help also!
And i am subscribed to your build too, watching every post......

Well,
Not to much progress... YET

I got a package from SPOHN today,

1. The new motor mounts (Added pic)
2. New sway bar bolts, Getting complete new bushings & adding a oem wonder bar.

Need to clean the engine bay this weekend & figure out what i am going to do to get it (engine bay) painted before the motor goes back in. NO RATTLE CAN!

Still waiting on the following:
1. t56 trans,
2. headers
3. t-56 crossmember,
4. wiring harness should be here Monday-Tuesday, "THANK YOU POCKET"

I need to order-get the following:

1. fuel lines & fittings, & c5 filter
2. t56 shifter, probably hurst shifter
3. ls1 fan assembly
4. ls1 Radiator
5. lokar throttle cable

Anyone see anything else i might need?

Thanks,
Robbie

iTrader: (8)

Note that if you get the lokar throttle cable you will have to do some modifying as it won't just attach to the pedal.

1fas92

iTrader: (1)

Hello,
I am using the 4th gen pedals, so will there be a need to modify it?

Pocket

iTrader: (24)

Why not use a 4th gen non-traction control cable? $25 from a dealer

RaverRacerX

wht dealer u goin to? sdpc told me 30-35

1fas92

iTrader: (1)

Hello,
What is the chance of having the part number also? Seems I will need to get the throttle cable bracket too!

Pocket

iTrader: (24)

I got mine from Flow chevy about 2 years ago. Might have gone up since, but its $5-10, woo

Match the cable to your TB, 98-99 are different than 00-02. If your cable doesnt match the TB, youll have to bend the gas pedal arm a little more. Not the end of the world

12552278 Bracket
Bolts are M6x1x30
12565559 Early throttle cable
12565560 Late throttle cable

Well,
I did get some stuff done this weekend......
Engine bay painted

WITH THE HELP OF MY FRIEND (58MARK)

And i also got the 4th gen pedals in the car too....
I need to get the trans back, I didn't get to pick it up this weekend as planned. i need the master cylinder to line it up with pedals better.


I think this is the half way point for me! I can start putting stuff back on the car now!

58mark

iTrader: (3)

Looking Good Robbie! post a pic with all the masking off it, I didn't get to see it like that.

58mark

iTrader: (3)

I meant what it looked like after you took off all the tape and plastic. do you have any of those?

Rockyd

This is looking good. I would love to come by and take a look at this project. I have been thinking of what way to go!

1fas92

iTrader: (1)

Well,

The Forth Gen pedals DID NOT WORK, for me anyway!
I found a used set of thirdgen pedals for $45.00 from a local thirdgen parts guy (Nathan Day) & they worked out perfect!

So the got the following DONE:
1: Clutch Master Cylinder is installed
2: Pedals are installed
3: Spohn Motor mounts are installed
4: Picked up the T56 trans, flywheel, clutch, slave and master cylinder from "Texas Drivetrain Performance"
5: picked up all the fuel fittings
6: picking up Hurst shifter tomorrow
I want to have the motor in by this weekend..........BUT

I want to take out the steering gearbox to degrease again, paint it black, so that next! It it almost out , so that will be done wednesday night!

1fas92

iTrader: (1)

updates coming.......

1fas92

iTrader: (1)

Well,
I am updating now.........
After finally somewhat understanding my problem! Sphon ls1 mounts only work with a stock k-member or a spohn k-member. My Tubular K-member was made by American Race Components in Dallas, TX. I got the k-member a couple years ago not knowing i would be doing a LSX swap, long story short, the kmember i have works with a sb1 350 motor only! So after reading-seeing other people swaps on here and doing google search and found these and bought them:

http://dirtydingo.com/store/product_...oducts_id=1322

and i am almost done now... i have alot of pics to add .........


The past two weeks:
I put the motor back in
and the t56
headers
fuel lines
radiator and fans
the shifter & the shfter boot
the console stuff

the wiring harness FROM POCKET! I will highly recomend his work and will possibly buy another for the vert ls1 swap, stay tuned for that one!
and his tech support( thats what i call it) is great too........

I still have a few thing to do tonight, I might even see if i get it toi fire up, maybe..........

1fas92

iTrader: (1)

I have a computer that has a start up tune for my set up, so i think that will help!

Nice find on those motor mounts! A bit pricey but they look like they could save LOTS of headaches.

1fas92

iTrader: (1)

I would be done if i had these mounts to start with!!!

It is my fault for not doing more research and just read the forums more and don't skim through stuff.

1fas92

iTrader: (1)

Well,

I got the following done this weekend:
1. All the hoses
2. Power wires & Ground wires

Hello,
I got my camaro back from the exhuast shop this morning. I had the y-pipe made to tie into the long tubes & Borla. The Borla is a 4th gen setup with the adjustable plates. At first i wasn't sure i about it (really quiet, kinda steathy) But when you rev up the motor it sounds GOOD!!!!! I will have video in a couple of days.....

And They also tuned the the computer for the car with a speed density tune. Sam Miller is the Tuner & he tunes alot of high HP cars. There was a new vette over there he was working on & he said quote " IT ONLY MADE 656 TO THE WHEELS WITH THE NITROUS". I asked if that was good for the setup & he said he has gotten use to 900 + hp cars, so 656 feels like a stock car to him....................

so my car must feel like a v6 camaro or something.................
