pulled the trigger... LQ4/4L80 swap (6.0 vortec)

[MrMobley]

Still not done...? Tsk tsk!

 

[branndon_b]

ha ha. the peanut gallery...

 

[MrMobley]

Haha, when the drive shaft gets here watch the news for a high speed pursuit

 

[crxx]

^^lmao!!!

 

[branndon_b]

got the motor and tranny out last night, pics to follow. good times. wasn't too bad, just made a little mess here and there with the fluids, been cleaning up the floor-dri from last night and scrubbing the driveway down with some superclean this morning. piddling with my motor mounts right now, need to tarp my old motor in case it rains. even though i don't have much use for my old 350 now, there's still a lot of good parts on it for when i either sell it or part it out. stay tuned

I better get paid if you post pics of me riding that lift...

 

[branndon_b]

ha ha. i'll have to see if there are any in the camera. haven't looked at all the pics yet, if so i'll make sure to put it in the thread and give you kudos.

 

[branndon_b]

action shots of said lift riding

pretty much as it sits right now. gonna start figuring out the wiring and hopefully have something worth reading once it's all done. thanks for all the followers, feel free to ask any questions that i may or may not be able to answer.

That looks like it went real smooth... Keep us posted sponge bob..!

 

[branndon_b]

ordered my mufflers last night, spintech 9000's, [email protected]". should be good and loud. they sound ridiculous on mr mobley's carbed 6.0. hopefully the bump in compression from the 243 heads i'm putting will make them pop pretty well.

 

[MrMobley]

Pulling the 350 and 4l60E was very smooth, but then again Branndon made it easy on us and pulled the entire front clip aside from fenders. So it was basically pick up, pull forward, and you're done. No worries about those Spintech's man, they will still scream. I'd expect yours to not be quite as deep down low and little bit more raspy up top though. If I get that industril pipeline water temp housing hooked up today I'll swing by and we can take a little ride.

 

[branndon_b]

noice. yeah, for the record, anyone who's looking for some loud ass exhaust that is mellow down low and just scream on top, check out the spintechs. mrmobley has the 3" spintech 9000's and i bought the 2.5" 9000's. i know it's still new and hasn't had any carbon buildup, but they just sound more metallic and mechanical than the magnaflows and flowmasters i've heard new. hard to explain. we'll have to post some sounds/vids, or at least i will when i get them installed. he's already got a couple i think, don't know if he's got them here or not.

 

[MrMobley]

All I have is an idle vid, when I run by tomorrow I'll let you romp on it and I'll record the deafening that ensues.

 

[slammedwhitec5vert]

Intrested in any problems you encounter. I will be watching this thread....

 

[branndon_b]

looks like i'm gonna try my hand at making a standalone harness. if you go to http://www.lt1swap.com/ there is a ridiculous amount of info on the site concerning the subject. http://www.lt1swap.com/2000harness.htm crazy how with a couple of relays and some solder you can make your own 3 or 4 wire setup. i've already labeled all my wires in my harness, now i gotta grow a pair and start cutting and splicing. but it looks like it won't be too bad. keep y'all posted.

My pleasure,I have been collecting info and I am in the early stages of planning a swap. And have been following your build thread from the beginning.

this is another good info thread for modding wiring harnesses. http://www.ls1tech.com/forums/2818847-post1.html

 

[branndon_b]

been working on my harness some more, just ordered a katech idler to replace my stock one. mrmobley's truck is having problems keeping a belt on, so i don't wanna have to start fighting that when i get mine done. i'll have pics soon. stay tuned
