I HAD MY 88 IROC Z CONVERTIBLE FOR 3 YEARS NOW AND IM FINALLY DOING THE LS SWAP. I HAD THIS PLANNED SICE DAY 1. I GOT MY DRIVETRAIN FROM AN 02 TAHOE, I BOUGHT THE TRUCK FOR 950 TOOK OUT THE MOTOR TRANS COMPUTER AND HARNESS AND SOLD IT FOR 750. NOT BAD I MUST SAY.

 

HERE IS THE DONOR VEHICLE

 

IM READY TO YANK THE MOTOR AND TRANS OUT. SURE WAS FUN GETTING IT THERE

 

MOTOR AND TRANS ARE OUT NEXT STEP TO TAKE THE TRANS TO MY BUDDIES SHOP AND CONVERT IT OVER TO 2WD

 

TRANS IS ALL DONE. 2WD TAIL HOUSING SUPER SERVO A HEAVY DUTY 5 PINION PLANET AND A BEAST SUN SHELL WERE INSTALLED

 

I GOT SOME MORE IMPORTANT PARTS IN FOR THE SWAP FROM SPHON

 

HERE IS WHAT IT LOOKED LIKE. GOOD BYE 305 TPI

 

looks good so far!

 

Motor and Transmission are out obviously lol

 

Out with the old and in with the new. It's just a stock 5.3 for now,after a few months of driving I want to put a cam in

 

Awesome! Such a great feeling to pull that tpi and never look back. Keep the pics coming!

 

Here is what it looked like before I cleaned it up in there

 

Here it is cleaned up in there. I would of loved to have the time and money to have it painted in the engine bay. I didn't want to spray can it for the reason of I will get a body shop to spray it in there eventually

 

I swapped the oil pan . I used a Cadillac cts-v pan pickup and dipstick all worked out great and I was pleasantly surprised that the pan came ready to rock with the gasket and all new bolts in place
