Nice!! I feel you when I got my ride started for the first time sounded like a badass!! 8) BTW does anyone have experience with these headers?http://www.americanracingheaders.com/ for the ls swap? I am looking to upgrade my exhaust system soon and with the 1in setback plates I'm not sure what fits and what doesn't. I do have a set of cheap ebay stainless steel headers and plan on installing them but I know they need modding to make them work...
Badass! Glad to hear it bud!axld86 said:well it's ALIVE ! fired it up yesterday and let it run for awhile. idled like a stocker, lol. still have to tidy up some wiring and build my airraid ubi system. ordered my Kwick a/c bracket,hope to drive it in a couple days.

you can control the LS1 on the cheap with Megasquirt (MS) I run MS2 and it runs the coils and the injection. MS3 can do some fancy sequential stuff too

Figured I'd post this in here, I copied it from another post I replied to. Seems these stickys aren't being utilized to well.
For cooling it seems the easiest way is to get a dual passenger side radiator. The ls water pumps inlet and outlet point to the passenger side of the engine bay.

So its been awhile since my last update... sorry - gotta have time to actually work on things!!! [IMG]
this latest update is for making the Flex-a-lite 295 fit a non-Flex-a-lite radiator. I did not want to use the Flex-a-lite radiator for 2 reasons: 1. I already had the Be Cool radiator. 2. I don't want to clean between the mounting brackets on the Flex-a-lite radiator.
It is an easy install, and will might cool the engine pretty good since the dual electric fan moves 4600 cfm of air... and it looks pretty good too.
gunna have to check it out on the link if you wanna see the finished products (for both g-bodies - HotRodRegal and LSX El Camino)

I will be installing a LS3 480hp crate engine and a Magnum 6 speed, Dirty Dingo Engine mounts, Holley 302-2 pan, Holley SS Long tube headers, Corvette Accessory, non A/C with Holley A/C Brackets. Custom Transmission Cross-member due to my custom frame rails
guys, alot of this is so easy to build on your own if you have access to a zip cut and a welder. didnt pay a cent for my motor mount adapter plates or crossmember (installing a 4L80E in mine) and with the help of someone who knows how to TIG weld, we took 2.5 inches off my truck pan, but built a sump outward that held the same amount of oil. my pan sits flush with my crossmember. my lowspot is my turbo crossover pipe
