    LSA 4L80E swap 72

    I did end up getting some Dakota gauges but paid the full msrp on them ouch lol. I went with the black alloy and white lighting. I love them. I used the BIM box.

    Sorry I hadn't signed on in awhile but MCbeast, I based my build on that magazine build called "The Perfect match..." I have those magazines still expect 1 copy of May or June, but since that article showed where they trimmed, I did the same but once installed it would've been fine without the trimming. At the moment I'm waiting for my holley 302-1 since I'm currently running 2 inch BMR springs in the front and that pan sits 1 1/4 inch of the ground, now I'm installing new 1 inch drop BMR springs and Holley pan for piece of mind and clearance gains. I also don't have any clearance issues with headers and steering parts there's plenty of safe room with the headers I used. MY70 I feel you on the saving a buck, because that way you can put that extra cash towards more parts lol.
  3. Check out lkq for good complete budget ls swap engines or a new gm performance 5.3 is also a good option. Just be careful with craigslist never know who your buying from.

    Some pics of the tab/ear that was cut from the 4l80e to clear the headers

    A little updated on my build. I ordered a efi tank from TANKS Inc. Plus their fuel line and fittings kit. I choose to go with the walbro 400 pump for my build. I also got some fbody 98-02 ls1 1 3/4 stainless steel race headers from Speed Engineering. Alot cheaper then buying Abody specific ls swap headers. I installed the headers and the only problem I ran into was needing to cut off a tab/ear off the 4l80e passenger side. If I would've used a 4l60e I'm sure that wouldn't of been a problem. I had no other clearance issue with using fbody headers on the monte.
  7. Check out Hooker ls swap mounts part # 12611HKR and Energy Suspension Motor Mounts part # 31117R. As for headers I think f body headers have good clearance and are cheaper than ls swap headers if on a budget and buying used. What kinda transmission are you planning on running there's different options depending on what you're using.
  8. Or just post on here, I'm sure there are members like myself that can help you with questions you might have. I've dealt alot with LS engines and swaps.
  9. You won't have any clearance issue in the engine bay but the transmission tunnel will have to be cut and raised about 2 inch give or take to clear the t56

    The car currently looks like this and I plan on staying with a sleeper look. I plan on running a dual exhaust thru some magnaflows/borlas to keep it quiet. And for wheels I'ma just put 15x4 rally wheels in the front. Car is nicknamed "Bad Grandpa"

    It's suppose to be rated at 556hp @ the crank as is, but I'm hoping with headers, tuning, and pulley swap should get over 600hp at the crank plus the 100 shot of juice. I've seen stock lsa ctsv dyno just over 500 rwhp with nothing but a tune. Goal for me is to run 7.00 index 1/8th

    Wow 13 years. That's good to hear. I hope I have good luck with mine lasting that long. Going to order a tanks Inc efi tank and use the a1000. Hope I don't max it out on a 100 wet shot

    I haven't done anything to the Monte in a while but the weather is starting to get cooler in Texas and I went ahead and ordered the connect and cruise wiring harness for the LSA and going to install it this weekend. Since I last posted I've installed LSSIMPLE lsa accessory brackets that allows me to run ls based truck accessories. I also got a great deal on ebay for a used g force crossmember that fits perfect.

    I really appreciate the input guys, thanks. I'll be getting a tanks Inc fuel tank then. I'm looking into the Aeromotive a1000 fuel pump since I plan on making over 600 rwhp. Anyone have experience with this pump? Today I tired cutting the mount off and flipping it but it just wasn't working. I then cut the crossmember into 3 pieces to extended it but ran out of wire on the welder so that was a fail. I'm just going to bite the bullet and get the g force crossmember
