I just started my engine for the 1st time!!! Everything was just lying wherever but It ran (3 sec). The rush What radiator do I use with the LS1? hose?, which goes where? cyrus
-
To show I am actually working and not just lying... cyrus
-
Ok, I hooked up the tank and almost the wiring harness for the LS1. I want to see if it will start first, then I will start eliminating wires. It lookes like the radio and lights must be 30 percent of all the wires. cyrus

I am using the datsun harness for the lights, horn, etc... and the camaro harness for engine, dash, and body control computer. I have removed the 240 dash and since I will not use any of the gauges from the datsun I want to remove all extra stuff. I own the 2001 shop manuals but they do not have one large wiring harness and helm does not sell it.

I started on the wiring but I need: 1 2001 ss camaro wiring diagram 2 1971 datsun wiring diagram 3 lots of luck where can I get the above cyrus

If you remember 70 and 71 240z had the diff foward which cause a slight angle of the half shafts. Datsun fixed this by moving the diff in 72 to stop the vibrations. If a u joint is angled it actual speeds up and slows down thru its rotation. So a simialar angle needs to be on the other end. How is pete and how do we find the engine position for a straight drive train. cyrus

Ok, I am in a better mood today. I redrilled the corvette brackets to move the engine 0.600" forward and made shim under the biscuits to raise the motor, and relieved the motor bracket near the streering shaft. I need to know where the motor and trans need to be positioned to have alignmetn with the dif and drive shaft. I am using the distance between the rack and harmonic as my measuring point.

I still cant post pic from my desktop... LS1 WARNINGS: 1 use a cross member may cause your engine oil pan not to clear upon installation. 2 corvette mounts hit steering 3 my pass. side head is 1 inch from the firewall, this is bad... installation is horrible..,move it forward 1/2 inch. cyrus code:

I need some links for AC units. cyrus
-
I am trying to move mine all the back. 1 I have removed the heater and ac and will use the camaro stuff (maybe). 2 I do not see the fins being a problem, but electrical plugs are. 3 how far back is possible
-
I machined my AC bracket 0.200" on the compressor side and 0.250" on the engine side. I will mount the engine this weekend using maichor's way. What radiatior are people using? Does the lower outlet hose (has thermostat), go to the bottom the raditator? cyrus
-
Hello, Thanks Phantom , maichor, DKR, Helldrives and others. This has turned in to LS1 swap centeral I am going to do maichor mounting with a cross member: 1 my ac hits the frame, can the bracket be milled? 2 will the vette motor mounts interfer with accessories 3 with a T56 where do i have to bash the tunnel thanks cyrus
-
maichor, good pics. Did you cut the oringinal z engine mounting towers? If my steering shaft clears the cast iron exhaust manifold and motor mount it will be a mircle. Where did you get the headers? cyrus
-
... and the converters? cyrus
-
I am using the 2001 cast iron exhaust has anyone found a way of using it? cyrus
-
Yes motor mounts it will hit... I will cut . Varible speed... whats that? cyrus
-
I looked at mine last night... alt may be close to the frame but is nowhere near tower. It is like 4 inches away.
-
What does the stock altenator hit, the crossmember,tower, steering? My engine is in but not bolted and has no ac or altenator. cyrus
-
hi, 1. I plan to angle mill the exhaust manifolds so they go in some more (mine are cast iron. Also o2 sensor in way . 2. where do you get the small altenator and how do you mount it 3. Do LS1 truck engines have high mounting brackets... that would be cool... 4 how far back is ideal engine placement (T56) cyrus
-

Why are ford so easy and chevy so hard? Is there enough material to redrill 240 hubs? cyrus -
I plan on using the factory fuel lines, But i have not figured if rubber connectors will hold 40 psi.
