Re: Project 6.0 (my '87)
 

Thanks Evil... you and everybody on this board just keep impressing me with the wealth of knowledge available.

Thanks for the compliment. Good luck with the stroker project. One day mine will be rolling again.

We are pretty smart for dumb people! Hahaha!

Re: Project 6.0 (my '87)
 

Has anybody tried edelbrock's ls1 shorty conversion headers?

Re: Project 6.0 (my '87)
 

You be better off using the stock manifolds...nothing flows better than the stock LS2,LS3,LS7 manifolds until you go to a full long tube!

Your LY6 has LS3 manifolds...or it has them from the factory, anyway!

Re: Project 6.0 (my '87)
 

This part is easy. Use a 99 Vette filter/regulator. Mounts to the frame, and all he will need is a short return line back to the S/U.

lnwlfbsktbll - The ACDelco EP381 is indeed a good pump choice. For $68 you will have a quality pump that will provide 58 psi all day long.

Here's a couple part numbers for you, and I attached a .PDF of some more part numbers that should be handy for your swap:

Corvette fuel filter/regulator, WIX 33737, $34.00 ea rockauto.com
Fuel fitler adapter, 5/16", Dorman 800120, $6.30 ea rockauto.com
Fuel fitler adapter, 3/8", Dorman 800121, $6.30 ea rockauto.com
3/8" x 12" double end male, Dorman 800155, $8.00 ea rockauto.com

Wow, thanks everybody I'm loving all this info.

Re: Project 6.0 (my '87)
 

Glock's idea is perfect advice and a great solution to your problem!

Re: Project 6.0 (my '87)
 

Progress is slow right now, but I finally got the cab off with the help of a few friends. So here's how she sits waiting for me to strip the frame down.

Re: Project 6.0 (my '87)
 

nice job man. little by little!

Re: Project 6.0 (my '87)
 

Looks like I found a 6L90 locally for $1000 with a $300 core, me pulling. I might just have a tranny by next week.

Re: Project 6.0 (my '87)
 

Sweet!

Re: Project 6.0 (my '87)
 

Cant wait to see it going back together. Little at a time!

Re: Project 6.0 (my '87)
 

We're doing a similar build...although my LY6 will have a carb. and a 200-4r behind it. The 6L80e would be nice though!

Re: Project 6.0 (my '87)
 

Do you have a build thread I can follow?

Re: Project 6.0 (my '87)
 

sure.

Re: Project 6.0 (my '87)
 

Does anybody have some pictures or links to a picture of their motor mounts installed on their ls motor before it all went in?

Re: Project 6.0 (my '87)
 

You can check out my build under Project blue-ray, It will show a pic or two of what 68 short step has done with it . He took an original motor mount bracket and matched to a flat motor mount plate attached to my gen 4 motor 5.3 there. hope that helps out

Re: Project 6.0 (my '87)
 

Thanks, I got some adapters and I'm having some trouble getting things to line up so I wanted something to compare to.

Re: Project 6.0 (my '87)
 

Ok so progress has been really slow considering something like 2 weeks straight of 14 hr days and a vacation after that, but here goes. I managed to find time to get my 6L90E and LY6 together and bolted onto my frame. I decided to skip Stripping and painting the frame because I'm on a little bit of a time crunch with my painter friend that is no longer going to be a painter in the near future. So mounting the motor and getting things back together so I can paint took priority over sorting the wiring out and such. Here are some pictures.


The motor mount adapters I bought wound up allowing me to reuse the stock Th400 crossmember and in its original location. It took a while to get things straightened out, but part of that was because the O'Reilly's I bought motor mounts from gave me the wrong part. Correct parts installed and it all went together like it was supposed to be there.

Re: Project 6.0 (my '87)
 

Very nice progress! The motor/tranny looks right at home in the frame.

Re: Project 6.0 (my '87)
 

thats going to be a sweet package when you get it all in.

Re: Project 6.0 (my '87)
 

Thanks for the comments. I hope it goes as smoothly as it has been so far. I haven't had any really large issues. Still can't decide between the OE style mirror or the little square repro ones like LMC carries here.

Re: Project 6.0 (my '87)
 

Nice progress man!

Re: Project 6.0 (my '87)
 

Does anybody have any reccomendations on who would be good to go through my wiring harness?

Re: Project 6.0 (my '87)
 

I think I've heard good things about LT1swap.com?
