Wow, it's purdy! I like those rings on there Bob!

Re: Glock's new project: "Fred" w/ 5.3L LS swap info
 

Nice, I like it!

Re: Glock's new project: "Fred" w/ 5.3L LS swap info
 

Thanks Bob you are awesome! Will be doing this before I install my trans. You are a great source of info. Thanks for sharing it with all of us.

No problem man! Just passing on what I'm learning!

Re: Glock's new project: "Fred" w/ 5.3L LS swap info
 

Hey Bob some of these servo kits have a new longer Sonnax pin. Do I need that also or can I use the old pin? Thanks in advance. The links below which one do I need?

Either one will work. I reused the stock pin. The longer pin will effectively tighten the band. Since it is longer, it will push farther in on the band to tighten up the clearance. Using the longer pin will probably firm the shifts up even more.

Like I have said before, Bob you are a wealth of knowledge. Thanks again!

Dyno tune is scheduled for next Thursday! :metal:

Re: Glock's new project: "Fred" w/ 5.3L LS swap info
 

Sweet, now we will need burnout videos for sure.

Re: Glock's new project: "Fred" w/ 5.3L LS swap info
 

:metal::metal::burnout:

Re: Glock's new project: "Fred" w/ 5.3L LS swap info
 

You know what would be cool............... A Dyno tune video!!!! :c2:

Re: Glock's new project: "Fred" w/ 5.3L LS swap info
 

:metal: right on Bob! cant wait to see the results... come on 280

Re: Glock's new project: "Fred" w/ 5.3L LS swap info
 

take some video and lots of notes on the dyno tune.

Re: Glock's new project: "Fred" w/ 5.3L LS swap info
 

I will definitely be taking pictures, we'll see if it's possible or not to get some video. I imagine I'll be in the truck working the go fast pedal. But if he has someone else doing that, I will be sure to get at least one or two pulls. Too many videos fills up my camera pretty fast.

Re: Glock's new project: "Fred" w/ 5.3L LS swap info
 

Is that your guestimate? I really don't know what to expect. As long as it doesn't start with a "1", I'll be happy! :lol:

Re: Glock's new project: "Fred" w/ 5.3L LS swap info
 

:lol: yea a 1 something would ruin my day to the point of playing with matches if you catch my drift.

but seriously my guess will be 268hp to the tire(lol) after all the tuning. its a high number but you have low miles. so we'll see!

when i took the goat i was disapointed in the # after all the work i did but after the tune he felt like a different animal. smoother, more responsive, etc...

Re: Glock's new project: "Fred" w/ 5.3L LS swap info
 

The LM7 new was 285 to 295hp, and torque was 325 to 335. I think your guess sounds pretty good.

Re: Glock's new project: "Fred" w/ 5.3L LS swap info
 

Keep in mind our wonderful altitude too. We be high all the time here you know. So count my guess at 247.

Re: Glock's new project: "Fred" w/ 5.3L LS swap info
 

how about..... "you know, we're high here all the time";)

Re: Glock's new project: "Fred" w/ 5.3L LS swap info
 

Thanks, but I translated it into your "lingo" right away. ;)

Re: Glock's new project: "Fred" w/ 5.3L LS swap info
 

:ito:

Re: Glock's new project: "Fred" w/ 5.3L LS swap info
 

:lol: it not dat bad yet!

and yeah, i forgot about the altitude... hopefully having the smog stuff off makes up for it a little. Bob, just make sure the back tire is at max. psi.:D

Re: Glock's new project: "Fred" w/ 5.3L LS swap info
 

Got it, right rear to 45psi! :lol:

Y'all remember I said I had been taking lots and lots of notes before I ever started my swap...... :D

Re: Glock's new project: "Fred" w/ 5.3L LS swap info
 

Bob, it looks like you have enough material for a best seller. Good luck at the dyno.

Re: Glock's new project: "Fred" w/ 5.3L LS swap info
 

I think we may all be pleasantly suprised. These engines really wake up with the smog garbage off and a performance tune. There is a place here in Raleigh, NC called RPM, it's Ryans performance Machines. They did a tune, cold air, emissions delete, and I think a bigger T.B. and got almost 345 to the tire on a low mile 5.3 Just wishful thinking. ;) Cant wait to see what my 6.0 will put down.
