I agree! Thanks for the build thread! Helped me so much! And thanks for hooking me up with the LS1 intake Brother! The Blazer is coming along great, got my harness almost finished. Decided to do it myself! Wish I went with drive by wire like you did! Fred looks great!

Taker easy, and Have a Merry Christmas!

Small update - I stopped by the shop of an old friend today who has a chassis dyno. He looked Fred over and liked it, but got on me for not having the PCM mounted solid. DOH! I actually forgot all about that! So I am going to bump the A/C stuff out 1 month, and get the dyno tune done in February. I'm curious to see what it is putting down at the tires, and how much more we can get out of it.

Justin - I need to go look at your build thread again. I haven't been on that board for quite some time!

JohnC · 12-29-2009, 08:08 PM

Sweet man I can't wait to see the numbers that it puts down.

Driveway Dreams · 12-29-2009, 10:58 PM

Dyno tune? COOL!!! Let me know when you are going if you would not mind an on looker.

menace121978 · 12-30-2009, 07:21 AM

sweet! i'm curious to see how much he's putting out. hopefully around 280 or there abouts... with that custom made air cleaner he might be around 300!

BulldawgMusclecars · 01-02-2010, 12:24 AM

Wow, great thread! I'm doing a 6.0 swap on a customer's 87 C10 soon, and this has been a great help, esp your info on the dual tanks. BTW do you still have the PN for the high pressure switching valve you used?

menace121978 · 01-02-2010, 12:35 AM

Thanks Menace!

glock35ipsc · 01-02-2010, 03:28 PM

Thanks Bulldawg, and thanks for posting that Dennis!

I got the remote keyless entry installed today. No pics to speak of since the thing is tucked way deep up under the dash. So here is a pic of the remote so I don"t get yelled at!

Hey Bob. great thread. I am starting to source up parts for my ls conversion. Just to be sure, the electric R body speedo is driven from the ls pcm with no drac or other interface?

If so you just gotta love GM's penchant for using the same sandard over and over. Jay

glock35ipsc · 01-02-2010, 06:12 PM

One wire from the LS PCM straight to the speedo, that's all! Not sure what an R-body is, but it needs to be from a 90-91 Blazer or Suburban.

Would any of the other injected trucks have the electric cluster?

**Thealien** · 01-02-2010, 07:10 PM

Is the remote start working also?

Driveway Dreams · 01-02-2010, 07:34 PM

Nice addition I'm sure. But just curious...how does the trunk pop?

JohnC · 01-02-2010, 07:35 PM

It's for the tailgate!

Driveway Dreams · 01-02-2010, 07:38 PM

So, you just push that button and "CLUNK" it falls open? Now that would be handy for that shaved tailgate mod.

No remote start, just keyless entry.

LOL, Bryce was saying when we put a tonneau cover on, we can put electric rams on it to lift it up, then hook them up to the remote!

Driveway Dreams · 01-02-2010, 08:16 PM

Well, give the kid credit again. Another good idea from the boy.

And he can probably hook it all up for you when you get the cover.

Jonboy · 01-02-2010, 11:00 PM

Just some (mostly 4wd) 90 and all 91's.

68 TT · 01-05-2010, 01:08 PM

I just scored one from a 90 Suburban C4C victim at the wrecking yard this weekend.

It was sad, there were six vortec engine Suburbans there as C4C trades all with scrapped engines.

djracer · 01-05-2010, 01:56 PM

You should have got all the vortec heads!

The heads were gone from every one of them. The way all of them looked I think the yard yanked them before they hit the pull it yourself area.

*78 Chevyrado* · 01-10-2010, 03:21 AM

Awesome thread man! Now I think I wanna do this instead of another Gen I sb. I don't know how I missed this thread for so long?!

I was gonna read a couple a new posts and go to bed.... 3 hours ago.... Instead I've been sitting here soakin up all this great readin and checking out all the links.

Bada$$ truck man, Really!

glock35ipsc · 01-10-2010, 11:48 AM

Thanks Kenny, I appreciate it! I can honestly say that I probably won't ever do another SBC in anything ever again. The economy, the power and responsiveness, infinite tunability and the cool factor of these are just over the top!
