can someone write up one for me? im sure theres others out there that would benefit from it but i like lists and it'll really help me in getting my swap started..

i know i need the LSX itself, what all else do i need?

im going to either be building the 700R4 or getting a T56...

so, please, list it

Heck of a good read too

 

You will have no problem using the 700R4. If you use that or an LT1 4L60E you dont need a new trans cross member. I assumed you did and bought one and found out its only for the LS 4L60's. The stock one worked nicely.

 

yeah i think im just gonna build the 700R4 and be okay for a little.. then eventually get a 6 speed

 

Look at the first post of my build thread, it has everything i've purchased thus far and most of it is necessary for a swap

 

cool thanks dude! gonna look at it now

 

looks good but im still kinda fuzzy..

just want a list for a barebones stock LS1 swap

 

What you absolutely need no matter what motor you get:

Fuel system (pump kit, plumbing, injectors, fuel rail) ~600

motor mounts and stands ~175

front acc ~500

Harness/msc wiring ~350+

Exhaust ~200-1000+ depending on what you want

MSC **** that WILL nickel and dime you ~750

 

x2 that sounds about right.

 

alright cool..thanks!

 

Do it right the first time or you will regret it. I was going to use my 700R4 when I started doing my build but I quickly realized that I would need a vacuum switch to man the torque converter lockup(because you would need a manual tune to run a 700R4). The adapter plate, correct flexplate, plus whatever it will cost you to build your 700R. Ya sure you can sell that stuff later, but non LSx stuff is depreciating rapidly in value.

Plus you will have to adapt the wiring later as well. As much as I gritted my teeth when I handed out the money for my 4L60E I don't regret it at all.

 

hmm...alright then..maybe ill just opt for the 4L60E..thanks!
