I'll make another post since mine has changed. Mine now has a carbed LS1 engine.

Chvy2NV · 07-07-2012, 12:55 AM

That is stunning, Matt. Do you have a color code for the silver or any details you could share? Silver is silver, sometimes, but that looks like the most perfect silver I've ever seen.

It's actually spray can. It's DupliColor Cast Coat Aluminum engine paint. I was gonna stick with the gray/blue theme my small block had, but it never looked quite right. The engine is all aluminum, and I wanted it to stay looking good, so painting it aluminum color keeps it that way.

Does this LS motor use coil packs? I don't know a lot about LS motors but I thought they all used them. I don't seem them in the pic.

Yes, it has coil packs. I relocated them to the back of the engine just behind the intake. With everything else, it kinda just looks like a weird distributor back there.

Here's a couple better and more recent pics.

Engine swap thread is here--> http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=506692

GM makes a distributor conversion kit for LSx engines, though. It mounts in place of the front cover, and has a piece that bolts to the front of the cam with a dist. drive gear and a fuel pump lobe to be able to run a mechanical fuel pump. It uses a SBF dist.

Here's a link to a build with a front drive dist. conversion, and also with a front accessory system that will be similar to what I will eventually run. http://ls1tech.com/forums/carbureted...71-camaro.html

Hubscrub · 10-24-2012, 10:00 PM

^ wow at that rad hose, i'm not a big ls fan there usually not to pretty, but yours is nice with that carb sittin atop.

**CC69Rat** · 07-05-2012, 08:01 AM

Clean Matt -- Very, very nice. I like it.

**67cheby** · 07-07-2012, 09:46 AM

yep, that looks GREAT !

sbc10guy · 07-07-2012, 01:02 PM

Ls1 conversion in my shortbed blue and white 71.

Tmwoodall · 07-07-2012, 02:44 PM

Slowly getting there. It needs to be cleaned up, badly. I will be changing the valve covers and breather before the final stamp of approval is put on this. Also replacing the radiator, likely with aluminum, making my own shroud for the Jeep fan mod. I am almost finished with the lines for my hydroboost brakes. Next up is painting the inner cowl, and inner fenders and paint touchup on the block and the "bay" will be about 90% complete.

I'm quite proud for a first build, and first ever engine build.

**67cheby** · 07-07-2012, 02:51 PM

looking good !

**67cheby** · 07-07-2012, 05:26 PM

very clean, nice work

What is your total cost on the swap if you don't mind my asking? If my 350 ever craps out, I'll be really tempted to drop a Vortec roller in instead of building another old school SB.

**67cheby** · 07-10-2012, 08:44 AM

I like it with all of the orange peaking out !
