I just finished my LS1 swap into my W150 Dodge truck. The truck started life as a slant six 4 speed OD manual tranny truck. I installed a 2000 Camaro LS1 with a Texas Speed 228 cam in it and the 4L60 with a 2800 stall converter. It has take me about two weeks of working in the evenings and weekends to get done. The last pictures is what I started with , I bought the truck back in April and was going to use it as a daily driver , it just didn't have enough power!
Wow! That is one clean truck nice swap!
Where did you get the craxy idea to do this?? Looks like you are my long lost Brother...

I have to ask if you are running the 4WD system?

This was my first impression...Quote:

Sorry bro, I can't leave the party now. I was inspired by your truck and thought , hey why not? I couldn't find anyone else other than you that had done it. My Slant six just didn't have it no more. Mine is just a 2 wheel drive, Maybe that makes it ok?
Do you have plans on taking it to the track? with that cam,stall, and being a lowered truck I'm sure you'll smoke my time.....possibly low 13's high 12's?
Even though my trucks looks heavy its lighter then most newer 2wd trucks
The closet track to me is an 1/8 mile, I'm going to have to get a different rear end before I go there. It would just be to embarrassing to spin the heck out of one tire, with no weight and no traction all it'll do is make a lot of smoke! The Camaro that the motor cam out of was running in the low 8's, although he had a 4000rpm stall in it.
really nice... u think its possible to do a ls1 swap on a 2nd gen dodge? i have always had that idea in my head to put a ls engine on my excab 1997 dodge,..
Don't you have a vid of you beating up on a 4th gen f-body. You seem to be the king of swap! Ram, ATV, what's next.Quote:

Just finished up my dash upgrade to go along with the LS1 swap. I installed a 2001 Camaro dash, Seemed like the thing to do! All the gauges work, although I'm still working on the fuel sending reading. I molded it in, still have to make clear cover, I'll do that next week. But now I have a working Speedo and Tach as well as trip odometer...:hyper2::hyper2:
Curious as to why your 85 has a pre-78 steering wheel. Oh cool swap btw. Even though it makes me die a little inside. But I've had a /6 truck, so I feel your pain. Now I've got a '77 D150 with the original 440. One of 83 440 half ton's built for '77.
thats cool man great ideas
Don't have a clue about the steering wheel, I bought the truck from my uncle who bought it new in 85, Used it a rural mail delivery truck for about 300k miles. It probably was change to what ever he could find at the time.
