N2TRUX need a favor.

Can you post any pics you have of the LS1 motor mounted in the blazer? I just picked up a 2002 LM7 5.3 and am interested on how it looks/fit and any issues you ran into. From what I've been told I'll need a camaro oil pan due to the truck pan is too tall, truck or camaro fuel pump. The motor needs the starter and I need to get the S&P wiring harness. Luckily it came with a 6.0 Intake Manifold too.

I've got the 4l60e I just took out of my wifes 98 that will be getting a nice build.

[SCOTI]

Is there something in particular you want a pic of? I'll be @ the shop tomorrow night & could prob get what you need if Ken doesn't already have exactly what your after.

Let me know.

i was considering getting a 5.3 and swapping it in, but i didnt. keep us updated on it. i wanna know how it runs.

[Izzy]

Sweet, if you can it would be greatly appreciated.

I just wanna see the clearance between the exhaust manifolds and the frame, balancer to crossmember, oil pan to crossmember and maybe the steering shaft to manifold clearance. I will be pulling the cab and the front end to do the swap but I wanna see what I have to trim/change.

Izzy the only clearence issues I have are on the stock F-body a/c compressor. I am running the S&P shorty headers and it gets a tad close to them, but nothing major. We moved my motor around quit a bit to get it to set as high as possible and still clear everything.

Let me see what I have for ya....

Yes, the interest has been overwhelming. It seems that it is very hard to find such unique parts of this quality. The instructions are the same for all Texas Motorsport product. You start by bending over.Reach behind you with your left hand and spread your cheeks. Brace yourself with your right hand and be prepard to get

[Izzy]

Awesome. Thanks for the pics.

I was just worried the collector flange on the headers would get close to the frame.

I’m glad you posted a pic of the S&P motor mounts because those are the ones I’ll be ordering.

I’m not gonna run a/c in the truck so I don’t have to worry about the compressor.

I’m glad you posted a pic of the S&P motor mounts because those are the ones I’ll be ordering. I hate to recommend anything from S&P, but they are about the best looking. We did have to mod them a bit for clearence.

I’m not gonna run a/c in the truck so I don’t have to worry about the compressor.Hmmm? Appearently you have forgotten you live in Texas. Lack of a/c is not an option for this fat boy. You might want to rethink that decision....

[Izzy]

Well S&P Is the only one that makes the wiring harness I'll need too so hopefully I'll have good luck.

I'm not gonna roll this sucker daily anyway but if it gets too unbearable I'd rather get a Vintage Air unit anyway and I have a brand new delco Sanden compressor sitting in the shed.

There are quit a few companies that make harnesses, or will mod your harness and computer.

BTW- Are you planning on running the 6.0 intake?

Well the problem is I didn’t get the harness or ECM. I’ve been told by several guys that swapped the LS motors into 88-98’s they had good luck with S&P and the harness.

I’m gonna have a place in San Antonio do a custom ECM for me.

Yep I have the stock 5.3 intake as well as a 6.0 Intake to install.

I can see right now calling the complaint dept wont do any good :p :p :p

You have metal radiator hoses???

Yes. They are there for a couple of reasons. The first one was the guy that installed the motor builds headers too. It was much simplier for him to create them from U bends and pieces of rubber hose than it was to find rubber hoses that would fit.

The second reason is because I like the look. When it's finished, they will be smooth and either color matched to the motor, or coated with high temp coating like they use on headers...

It's not about quantity, it's about quality, or lack thereof. We employ some of the sleaziest, lieing, cheating, backstabbing, snake in the grass, pond scum sucking, weasel wiskered lawyers to be found in the south. It's a small law firm by the name of Wie, Cheatum, and Fookum...
