Re: LT1 GenV swap
I am searching for an upper radiator hose solution. There's not too many square bodies with a l83 swap, but an ls2/3 swap / waterpump could the equivalent answer. If anyone has any recommendations post up.
The lower hose is no surprise, ls1 5.3 truck hose, trimmed of course. Thanks, Clint

Re: LT1 GenV swap
Seen somwthing ubwant expecting to find.. a problem with the compressor and it's comnector locations. Specifically the solenoid valve on the bottom. With the engine moved as far back as I could get it, I found out that the solenoid connector is about 1/4 ish inch from the motor mount adapter plate. Maybe I could have installed the connector on the compressor and then installed it to the engine but would have been way too close if it even fitted altogether.
Solution make it fit. Lol Remove the soloind, plug the solenoid bore and grind the compressor housing so the solenoid could be rotated.  Used one of the end cut carbide burr bits and make short of the modification No before and after pictures but the red lines is what was removed from the other side so the solenoid could be rotated  Clint
