Update...
![]() ![]() * fuel system ;this is what i did for my swap ** www.Psiconversion.com part number (kit-1007) and this came with a wahlbro 255-iph fuel pump and corvette fuel pressure regulator, 20 ft of 6an steel braided fuel line and the whole kit Russell fuel fittings and it was 429. All is good but i have found the return line size of -6 an to be too large to fit securely on gas tank plug. Not worried although have to find something smaller in diameter to fit more snugly. I have mufflers 2 Magnaflow #12866 These i am ready to weld on. They are basically bullet straigh through non chamber free flowing mufflers. I hope these to be aggressive sounding to say the least.i plan on dumping near rear axle i do not want outlets to be seen since originally i wanted lighting style dual outlets in front of passenger rear tire but all good guess strait back is better than a big as$$ 90 degree angle. ![]() I got new tranny pan gasket from mr gasket for my 6l80e since i have to put back tranny valve body and TCM i got tuned from Psiconversion.com so might as well ride fresh clean new gasket to be safe.According.to oreilys computer my 6l80e only takes 6.5 qtz of oil so i got some lucas and royal purple for the job. ![]() I measured driveshaft length that i need so gotta call driveline shop and share this along with pics of my output since i have a STS-V tail end on my 6l80e. What do yall think steel or aluminum??? My gas pedal is a electronic LS3 gm pedal i got it new from psiconversion.com part number ACC-1007.. Mass air flow sensor i got from psi as well... ![]() |

Thanks man i would have never imagined this actually. I was dead set on finding a lq9 or any solid 6.0 but this deal came out of nowhere and had to jump on it.I cant wait to say the least

Re: 1977 c10 6.2 L92/6l80e swap.. pics
Hi l92Powered77,
I put a 2011 5.3/6L80 in my 86 but I used the original cross-member but had to modify it. My tranny oil pan hangs low and I am curious how yours turned/turns out, any progress? If all goes well I will order the same one you got. Here is my quick build thread. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=584532 |

Hey thanks for coming in Houston Ben. I had seen your build and wanted to ask you about the shift linkage.Why did you go with the shiftworks kk02 instead of the lokar linkage? Did you have to modify the kk02 in anyway for it to function? How is it holding up. To answer your question about the tranny pan i will say this,I am not woried about tranny pan clearance at all as the engine oil pan is the one that hangs the lowest. I am using the stock oil pan though so i expected this but it fit without any issues. Crossmember is legit especially so you can run the dual exhuast without any routing problems. Nice build Ben. ![]() Last edited by l92powered77; 04-16-2015 at 06:42 AM. |

![]() ![]() ---Ok hey guys how goes it to all hope all is well. Really interesting things happening in my garage.So i measured for driveshaft and i came to realization that i have the dreaded triangle like piece output shaft from a camaro ss and other rear independant suspension vehicles;which my c10 obviously will not have independant rear suspension meaning nobody could warranty a driveline they could make for me because i would encounter infinite vibration and eventually destroy the driveshaft. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() So yeah i took it to Toy Shop and it was ready in 2 days.Tranny is now back in my truck i am waiting for the 2 stock oem tranny mount bolts to bolt up tranny with xmember .I will be able to use the Tejas steel works crossmember but will have to take off the adaptor plate that scoty so kindfully made for me after so much stressing about and measuring. ![]() I expect to be measuring for driveshaft this weekend and for efan relays to be mounted . I am waiting for a cooling line fitting that had AN fittings on the base plate oem style where the cooling lines come out of tranny. Also need to figure out the power steering lines situation.all hosing should be on engine this weekend all fluids should be going in as well. 1.I need to order gauges i was gonna go dakota digital because the autometer ones and all sensors are very enpensive i believe over 1200!!! and dakota digital is 700 so yes big difference .I am contacting Colorado Speed tomorrow and asking about gauge prices as i was told they have cheap gauges.Does anyone know where i can get auto meter style gauges electrical style for under 1000? Hopefully a vendor here or a shop owner can cut a c10 fanatic a deal. Just in case probaly going dakota digital . 2. I removed seats and carpet and terrible foam sound deadending material and was surprised by rust in feet area driver side being worse than pasanger so i got wire wheel and acetone and went crazy on the floor area by cleaning and rust removal and i got rustoleum rust primer and right now just barely finished primering the whole floor area of truck.Once it dries i think maybe i will add again in more damaged areas and i have a qt here of rustoleum protective enamel in flat black and was gonna make floor all black so i can then put my dynamat extreme and really get heat and sound relief inside vehicle. I was curious about spraying the rubber underbody spray on the floor instead of just painting black but what do you guys think?? I am leaning towards just painting black and have nice surface for dynamat to be placed on instead of putting it on the rubber like material that is the underbody spray. I have a new dashboard from classic industries i will install soon and new door panels all black. ![]() PICS TO FOLLOW. feel free to ask any questions or give opinions whatever is appreciated .

![]() I did a interesting thing.I ordered the lokar aca-1800 shift linkage piece because i was told that it fit . I ordered last night and i got the email that it shipped right now a few minutes ago. I decided to call lokar to ask them if it fit out of pure curiosity.I was told NO it does not fit my 6l80e ![]() ![]() Meanwhile also between the few minutes ago and right now I decided to call a company in las vegas named SHIFTWORKS.Well the good people over there have a part number KK02 which is a shift linkage that was confirmed by the company itself that it does fit my 6L80E! ![]() |

How close is the top of your tranny to the floor hump and who exactly did you order the trans cross-member from? I would like to get a nice one before I get the exhaust redone. |

I can move my hand around the top of my tranny with out too much strain i am waiting for tranny mount bolts ,when they get here i will be more precise.When i had a adaptor plate between the tranny mount and tranny i still had room and without all this stuff i assume i will have more room but either way my hump didnt neep to be modified at all or cut thank god. I am happy to have this 6l80e and cant wait to get it started and walkin on its own.I never knew the 5.3's came with 6l80e ,I am sure you are getting awesome gas mileage you lucked out.How do you like your swap so far.Thanks for Shift linkage info im not even stressing anymore.Btw what did you do for the power steering line? What acessory brackets did you use ? My only issue now is power steering lines but not really worried the war is won pretty much just a few more battles to go... ![]() Crossmember-wise you are in luck. The company is run by fellow Texans and the name of the shop is called Tejas Steelworks being located at Pflugerville,Texas which is the Austin area. The guy you need to speak to is Scotty,his phone number is 512 470-0153 . The shops page is https://www.facebook.com/TejasSteelWorks . Even if you need a custom fabrication they can help .They make the crossmember and its made there in shop. |

Re: 1977 c10 6.2 L92/6l80e swap.. pics
I didn't put the engine in myself (the only thing I didn't do myself), I didn't have the equipment or space to do so. But the guy some how used the stock power steering lines. I can get some pictures for you if you want.
I think I need to raise my tranny a little, I will have to feel around and see if I can. MPG wise I see around 18 highway which is less than I thought I was going to get but I do have it tuned to run like a mad man so.... I really like the swap and am glad I did it, just make sure whoever tunes your 6l80 knows what they are doing. I guess it is a different animal than the 4l80. Thanks for the info on the crossmember, I will look them up. One other thing, watch where you put your mufflers, I have 40 series flowmasters right behind the cab under the bed with no "X" or "H" pipe and they are loud as heck in the cab with drone effect... I hate it, makes any trip over an hour painful. |

Re: 1977 c10 6.2 L92/6l80e swap.. pics
Hey if you could get some pictures of power steering line area that would be great.Who tuned your truck? You Houston guys are lucky to have alot of support. I know Flaco and Wheatley. Flaco builds some crazy trucks. I used to have a 08 5.3 Yukon with a tune from Spike Peformance in the mcallen area and holy crap my stock truck turned into a beast.Spike builds some fast trucks as well.
Im over the Flowmasters i had 40 series dumped when i had my cammed 350 carbbed and hated the drone. That is why now only Magnaflow or Dynomax Ultra Flo . I like to be able to talk and think in my vehicle sometimes but yes at wot i wanna hear the ![]() |

Re: 1977 c10 6.2 L92/6l80e swap.. pics
My stock lines worked as well. Bolted right up. Since my engine sits back farther than yours, I had to bend the return low pressure line forward about 1/2" or so to clear the FRONT of the power steering pulley. That's how much farther rearward my engine is sitting.

Hey 77, not the bet pics but there is too much crap in the way for straight shots. But here are my power steering lines.
![]() ![]() ![]() I used my original trans lines and then used hose and clamps on the lines to AN fittings at the cooler. |

Also, from what I have read and heard the X-pipe of H pipe will give you a little more hp or tq and help with the drone sounds.
