I will soon become the new owner of a lightly built ls1. We are getting it from some friends who have been building smallblocks for race boats and racecars for years. It's a very good deal, the heads have some port and polish work done to them, better pushrods, valve springs, and comp cams version of a z06 cam. It was a clean block to begin with that he built to be a sturdy engine that could take abuse. They got bored of it so it was replaced with another ls1 that's pushing 600hp in a 1800lb car. Anyways, enough of my blabbering, I have a few questions I would like some advice on before I start a build thread and spending a ton of money.
The engine is complete with all the wiring, but does not come with any accessories.
I plan on keeping A/C, what accessory drive system from what vehicle will fit the ls1 and fit in my cruck properly?
I would like to mate this engine to a built 2004r. I know I will need a different flexplate/adapter and accommodations for the TV cable. Is there anything else I will need to mate it to the 2004r?
I am very confused on the subject of the motor mounts. I guess what I want is for the ls1 to sit in the stock location as the 305, and drop it in without having to move the transmission from the stock mounting position. What mounts/mounting kit do I need to accomplish this?
Fuel delivery, could anyone who has done this swap shed some light on this?
That about covers my questions that I have for now, sure I will have more, Thanks!:beer:
