This is the place to go! Good luck and welcome!!
Welcome! Sounds like a fun swap.
Welcome over to LS1truck. Not to brag, but we know a thing or two over here... There have been several members who have already done your swap. WTFan18 is the main guy you should talk to. Although he did a 5.3L swap, he did mate it to a T56.
Welcome to the site! Post up some pics when you get a chance.
welcome to the site! that thing is gonna be sick with the lq9 in it.. do you live in downtown or just on the outskirts? my sister got a condo downtown and I freaking love it down there. Ive only been a couple of times but it was so awesome.
Welcome.
welcome i did the lq4 and am local if you need any help and i have hp tuners as well if you need tunning as well. my truck is a 87 with the lq4 and radix supercharger.
haha yeah what ever you need man feel free to ask! it was a fun swap.!Quote:

Ask away, there are several options and opinions, but not a difficult swap.
It will be fun to drive when you get it finished.
