I'm looking for anyone who has an '87 or older and has done a conversion. If you could post setups, thoughts, experience, notes, prices, parts... pics would be good, too. Links to build threads would be great as well.

Hell, why don't we just do the conversion for you? Just drop your truck off and come pick it up in a week. :laugh:
what is this "conversion" you speak of?
<clicky>
My truck is in Lewisville... If I had the money and the time I would be quite serious about it. I don't have either.Quote:

I think one of my first big snagss was with the motor mounts and the trans/converter setup. I kept my Th350 trans and my first motor mounts(carshopinc) moved the trans 1" forward, so I had to swap to "S&P 1inch back" mounts. After that, I had trouble with my GM pilot extension and B&M TH350 converter. The extension needed to be milled a little, but I just got rid of it and the B&M and just bought a LS1/TH350 converter off ebay. Good luck with it.
There's a little info here also...http://www.ls1truck.com/forums/lsx-t...-question.html
Feel free to ask any Q's you have...everyone on this board was extremely helpful when I did mine.
Oh yeah...just got the AC hooked up...used the factory lines with a couple conversion fittings...it's ice cold.

here is my thread
I like the picture of the speedo it looks like mine, but i have seen mine all the way at 180 degrees
You'll find quite a few swaps have been done... A number of us have threads in this section. I'd have to dig around to find mine, but it's here.
