Re: Just brought home my 1947 3100
OOO I'm jealous. You got your truck over a year after I got mine and you already have the LS in it. Good choice on engine setup. Please keep us posted. I was gonna do one big turbo on a 6.0 LS for the 57. It would be nice to hear what hiccups you run in to. You gonna use the stock EFI setup? Will you have to use the EFI's gas pedal?

I'm going with twin 70's I believe. I haven't decided if I will do a mega-squirt or hp tuners on the stock ecu. I'm not familiar with the EFI's gas pedal. I had a benefit of not having a motor when I got it and it was already setup for a small block. Pretty easy conversion at that point. I will love to see what you do when time allows!! |

Re: Just brought home my 1947 3100
If it is a 06 or newer LS you may have to use the Gas pedal from the donor car. Otherwise the ECM gets angry. I know this cuz my 6.0 was sold to me with the pedal and was told it wouldn't run without it.

Re: Just brought home my 1947 3100
So jealous. I have often dreamed of doing an LS swap. I am sure you have read the Hod Rod build that made 4.09 hp/ci ? Yes its not a longevity thing but that little motor took a beating until the ignition could not hold up. 1203hp on the stock long block with only regapped rings.
Great looking project! |

Re: Just brought home my 1947 3100
I got the motor cleaned up, just bought some 317 heads and got done replacing the valve springs with BTR springs, waiting on the trundle upgrade so I can bolt the heads on the motor and get the rockers/pushrods installed.
After that its time to drop the motor/trans in. |

toeffer:
Looks like the straight six was long gone when you bought the truck. I need a front motor mount assembly if you happen to have one. Locally I have had no luck finding one. |
