mas28O Posted February 11, 2004 Share Posted February 11, 2004 Today I was able to start the motor. Stan (240Z2NV) was over for the start up. I let it run for about 10 min so that I could fill the radiator up all of the way. Now all I have left on the swap is to put the exhaust back on. A few more days and there will be one more LS1 Z on the road. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavyZ Posted February 11, 2004 Share Posted February 11, 2004 Funny, but I think your cars are faster then Darius' car was and yours are NA, plus you live in neighboring cities--how's it feel? That is just too cool. Man, I salute you--you are fast at making it all happen too. The LS1 will be faster then the LT1 I predict (now don't let me down ).

mas28O Posted February 11, 2004 Author Share Posted February 11, 2004 I will post some pics on Wednesday(JKDGabe I like the signs). I hope to be at the track in the next 1-2 weeks. I thought that the LS1 would take more time, but they are a very easy swap. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JKDGabe Posted February 11, 2004 Share Posted February 11, 2004 I thought that the LS1 would take more time, but they are a very easy swap. 1: how many swaps have you done? 2: what was the hardest part of this one? 3: any pitfalls for those daydreaming of following in your footsteps?

qwik240z Posted February 11, 2004 Share Posted February 11, 2004 How do you do it so fast? Let me guess. No Kids, No Wife. That must be it. I can't believe you got it together in less than 30 days. Do you want to fly out here and do mine? Now that you have done one we could probably do mine in a week. I'll feed you steak and Lobster every day, all the beer you can drink and a nice place to stay. All kidding aside, Congrats! I can't wait to see the track numbers.

Guest ON3GO Posted February 12, 2004 Share Posted February 12, 2004 wow very nice... that has to be the fastest swap so far on this site.. also what kind of battery is that? mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mas28O Posted February 12, 2004 Author Share Posted February 12, 2004 JKDGabe The only hold back on the swap was the headers. The LS1 swap is just like the LT1 swap with the only diff is that you have to make some mounts. Sanderson are now going to make the headers that I have on my car. Cyris old 240z ls1 now has the same set of headers on his car. John now owns the car. qwik240z I have a wife also, I just spend about 1-2 hours every night on it.

mas28O Posted February 12, 2004 Author Share Posted February 12, 2004 ON3GO the battery is a odessy drycell, very light. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
80LS1T Posted February 12, 2004 Share Posted February 12, 2004 So how did sanderson make the headers for you? Did you take your car there and have them make them or did you just have to modify a set of headers? I suppose swapping from the LT1 to LS1 made swap a lot easier since you had most of the wiring done? Guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Juday Posted February 12, 2004 Share Posted February 12, 2004 Thanks to Mike every LS1 swapper can now simply order the correct set of headers right from Sanderson. Props to the trailblazer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mas28O Posted February 12, 2004 Author Share Posted February 12, 2004 80LT1 I had Sanderson make the headers. I tried some of the in stock headers and then took them back and had them make changes. All of the LT1 wiring was taken out of the car, and the new LS1 harness went in. It was just like starting over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qwik240z Posted February 13, 2004 Share Posted February 13, 2004 Thanks to Mike every LS1 swapper can now simply order the correct set of headers right from Sanderson. Props to the trailblazer. Not exactly. It would depend on motor placement as Mike made his own mounts and John's cars makes different mounts as did others. If you don't position the motor in almost the exact location you might have clearance issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
