Holy hell...this trans is going to make me get new tires, they chirp under normal driving The 3200 stall is also fun

Great info on the fuel system. i'd love to see a full list of connections made to the truck harness when you get everything hooked up.

Bringing this back up, I am getting ready to put in LM7 in my 95 with an NV3500. I am using the parts 91blkstpsd used for the trans mating, but he had a DBW engine so I can't use his fittings. I am putting in a 2001 LM7. Do you have any pictures of the fuel fittings? Did you just cut the 18" hose with some snips? And on the oil and coolant adapters, which one did you end up using and how did you splice the wires if you didn't use the adapter? Thanks man

[silverado_lover]

To cut the AN hose I used electrical tape, a chisel, and a hammer. I don't have any pictures of the fittings but these are the exact fittings I used



I went with the S&P adapters but search for minime168's thread on the adapters and there's a link to a cheaper source for the adapters and they're not chromed out lol

Welcome to the site!

I hadn't seen that you replied, thanks man. I did order the parts from your fitting diagram and they are now here. The adapters are 12mm x 3/8" and 16mm x 1/8" right? I really don't care for the chrome either, but that doesn't seem to be a link lol. Maybe you forgot to link it? Thanks again!

Edit- haha just noticed that the welcome to the site was a welcome not a link to the site that sell the adapters. I'll check out minime168's thread. Thank you for the welcome man, I had seen you over at FSC as well. I have always just been more of a lurker.

ok so im confused on how you did this. This 89 has stainless steel braided lines from the filter up to the throttle body already. So how do I convert it to the 5.3 fuel line fittins? Or can I just cute the braided hose and hose clamp onto the fuel rail?

Put hose ends on the braided lines (if they're not already) and get the adapter from the hose end to the rails. Basically you only need the left half of the diagram you quoted.. someone already made the changes on the right hand side for you (maybe not the same, but having the same effect)
