OK, all you LS Converter Experts

I bought a 2004 GTO with the LS1 and auto trans to put in my 78 C10 Stepside project. It is a complete vehicle that ran well I got from my son. What all do I need to save from the car that will be needed for the truck?

Thanks in advance...you guys are always so helpful!!

Re: OK, all you LS Converter Experts

'04 GTO's are very similar to '01/'02 Camaro/Firebird.

Cruise Module & pigtail
PCM
Engine Harness
Air Intake
MAF sensor
Trans lines
A/C hoses (You can have ends "Tig welded" on
A/C high pressure sensor

Australian cars have a PIM module (Powertrain Interface Module), You "May" need this module for certain input/outputs.

Also....Being an Australian car, Don't trust "generic" diagrams online, GTO 5.7L cars are 1 year only & the Aussies have their own way of doing things.

clinebarger,
Thank you for the info....I did not know they were Australian......

That being said, the engine itself is the same as all other LS1s, correct?

Thanks,

Barry

It is basically a '04 Corvette LS1 longblock, Probably the best year LS1, LS6 Intake & revised PCV, The GTO front sump oil pan will not work. A H-3/Swap pan is the beat deal for a truck.

If it were me I would keep the whole car until you are done . You will find you will use more than you expect to . All the little stuff will come in handy and save some money .
