LSx Swap Parts Database

[L92 OLDS]

Working on a '82 Regal with a 6.0L swap.
Using BRP motor mounts and moroso LS1 oil pan. its not a combo that normally works. Also have some other ideas that may help G-body owners. The Fuel system is featured in the book "GM G-Body performance upgrades 1978-1988". I try to mention part #'s as I build too...

Nice build. What HP numbers are you shooting for? Also, I'm curious how long you've been watching Craiglist......LS stuff is few and far between in my area. Fast intakes go for $750 or more. You make it sound easy to score the parts you have on your engine.

I may have missed this and sorry if it's been covered.

I'm doing a LQ4 swap in my 86' T Type. It's a factory Turbo V 6 car. I was told the frame mounts won't work and need V8 style. Where can I get those?

TIA

Has anyone used the Energy Suspension Mount Kit #3-1148G? I'm Trying to figure out what headers might work with it. Also if we use the GM serpentine kit #19257325 will I need to change or alter anything? Power steering pulley, alternator? Also this kit will fit on any LS motor right? Getting an LQ9 motor and might be swapping to L92 Heads and LS3 intake and going carburetor.

Thanks Anubis for the kind words... sorry its taken this long to reply...
Craigslist is a beautiful thing for LS parts.. I simply check it everyday when I'm on a mission to find something (make it part of your daily routine - you know... take a shower, brush your teeth, check craigslist )
My Fast intake was a freak finding! it was $400 about 2 years ago. it had some minor damage to the little ports on the intake... (no big deal.. Drill+tap+AN fitting=fixed) I did not wait around when I found it though... Have some mad money and act fast!
As for HP? I dunno... maybe 400hp??? LQ4 with Fast90, 90mm accufab intake, 36# injectors, mid-length headers opening into full 3" exhaust. I am probably going to upgrade the engine later, but its a decent start for a 3500 lbs car...

As for the LSx data base, I try to post all my part numbers that I use in the LSx swap that I am performing on my 82 regal. I am currently helping a friend of mine with his 79 El Camino now.. You will not want to miss the oil pan/motor mount combo he found on this one! BEST CAST OIL pan I have seen to date. I will be posting the Oil pan very soon (gotta get better pics this weekend) Its amazing the kind of clearance he has with his combo!
I went with a combo that is known not to work, but anything is possible given a little creativity 8) I really liked the fact that the Moroso pan holds 7qt of oil with baffeling and trap doors.

Recently I found a really cool LS steam vent kit from C&R Racing. If you already have a fancy aluminum Radiator for a SBC, or if you dont want to tap into the EXPENSIVE GM LS water pump... you might want to copy the design... hopefully this link will take you to the website. All free info... ENJOY!!!
