94 Lifted Silverado 6.0/4L80e swap Build

[HPICamaroSS]

Heres an update of the head/ cam build. The PRC 2.5 Ported LS6 heads are on, 228r cam is in, slp oil pump and dbl roller chain is on. Found out for the ARP rod bolts that you have to have ur rods honed and clearanced by a machine shop so that was 50 bucks, threw some cam bearings in while it was in there for another 70. A Few problems I ran into: Was torqueing the oil pan down to 18 ft lbs and it cracked... The SLP ported oil pump is VERY close to everything. VERY close to the timing chain and it actually hits the front cover so I am going to grind that down. Like I said, the ARP bolts went to a machine shop to be installed because they have a taper right under the head that wont allow them to seat all the way. If you use stock intake gaskets and ARP head bolts, you will have to grind down the smaller head bolts because they dont allow your intake to seat all the way and you will have a vac leak. I went with option 2 : buying intake gaskets from napa which is the FELPRO series and they are very thick allowing the intake to clear the head bolts just fine. Last, I clearanced my rockers for my valve springs because the clearance seemed to close for comfort. Just took a die grinder and ground off the 2 ears under the arm where it was really close to the spring retainer. Might upgrade to yella terras next season. Waiting for my 3200 stall from Circle D right now then i should be good to go.

Finally got the 255 installed in the new tank today. Had to make a few minor adjustments so the sending unit wouldnt slide around on the top of the tank.

If you have access to a welder you can take a nut and weld it to the stud by filling from the inside of the nut to the stud. EZ-outs sometimes will get the stud out but not always.

good idea since welding wont stick to the alum heads. i dont have a welder home, but i have one at work. thx

Sorry I can't help with the line fittings. But I bought an adapter of ebay the goes on the side of the oil pan for the oil pressure for like $10 and tapped the waterpump for the temp sensor. You could just get the thre wire sensor for the ls1 fbodys for the temp sensor.

Ya my rubber hose running into my trans cooler is 3/8. I did get all my fittings today from summit, what I ended up doing was getting a -6 AN to 3/8 hose barb and ill just connect the rubber lines to my braided lines. Im still unsure of the right fittings that screw into the actual 4l80e case though. The part number from summit is #640520.....http://www.summitracing.com/parts/RUS-640520/ but they just dont look right. they seem to small. I don't know maybe im wrong, once i get a chance to get out to the barn ill try putting them in. Is your tranny 4l80e? And if you can, that would be great if you could look up the fittings you used in your case.

Oh ok that's awesome and they weren't even that expensive either. I have a 4l60e however. Did you have to tap the thread into the case it do they just screw right in?
