04' Colorado LS1 swap (Amy's Truck)

[TRPLXL2]

B]Well this will be my official build thread on this truck, I am putting a LS1 out of a 2000 Camaro into my 04' Colorado which was a 5 cylinder 4l60e combo. I am leaving it stock at first till I get all the bugs worked out, and then improve it as I go. I love posting pictures as I know everyone loves mayhem and destruction!!

First off I too off the whole front end, fenders and I drilled out all the spot welds in the core support and removed the whole thing for easier access. Here we go!!!

Gonna work on it some more today, so should have more pictures. I used the child safety restraints from the back of the truck, to use as pulling points on the motor as long as some d rings.

Got the engine on a pallet today, and put her up for sale. When I sell it I can buy some more parts I need for my ls1. All the extra wires behind the fuse box are for all the aftermarket lighting on the truck, off road lights, underbodys, led's.
