My lq9 swap
Hey guys I am new to the site and love some of the conversations. Im putting a lq9 with a viper t56 in my 86iroc. The engine has an ls1 intake. I put the engine in last week and now the questions start. The p/s line which work best with the set up is the alternator sits on top of p/s any help would be great tks

Re: My lq9 swap
You can have the trans converted to Fbody specs or run an external VSS pickup. Jags that run sells a differential yoke mounted reluctor. If running a 4ch 10 bolt as a basis for your 8.8, run the VSS wires to that. If your 8.8 diff was from a newer ford with traction control, run the VSS to the speed sensor on top and adjust the speed scaler in the tune
