Lots of pictures coming first time swap LQ9/5 speed going in a 92 k1500

So far so good....Saturday and Sunday we got the old 350 out, and the LQ9 in. Took a little fighting to get it in and lined up but went in fairly easy. We started getting the wiring harness in place and hooked up and stopped there today. Need to swap the gas peddle, hook up the ls radiator/LS electric fans, overflow tank, swap out the fuel pump, bolt up the longtubes, and a bunch of random shit like bolt up the starter etc. I won't have a ton of time this week so we'll prob be firing it up next week.

A few more pictures. The 350 coming out

I had Nelson do my tune and they did an awesome job. Very helpful especially considering I was able to go in there because I live about 20 minutes away. My swap wasn't even complete because I only had two gauges working (oil/temp) and the harness looked like a pile of spaghetti but they were super patient and got me dialed in. Now that my drivability is no longer in question, I can proceed to tidy up my harness and get my gauges working.

Haha yeah fortunately my two buddies that are helping me have both done a LS swap in an obs in the last year so they both had suggestions of things they wished they had done different and such. My buddy ryan was the first to do the swap and his harness is whacked up pretty good. That will be the next chore is cleaning up his harness

Got the wiring harness in and hooked up, starter bolted up, new slave cylinder installed, pedal assembly and module installed, drivers side header installed. About the only thing left is passenger header, Walbro fuel pump, LSradiator, LS electric fans, over flow tank, and swap the battery to the drivers side. Hopefully finish it up in the next few days.

I have a lot of cleaning everything up to do but we fired it up! Installed the walbro fuel pump, passenger side header, and hooked up the battery. My buddy had no problem installing his longtubes but I had to dimple one of the primaries on the frame side and cut off an ear on the transmission to get it into place. Some people will prob shit a brick but instead of taking the bed off I cut an access door in the bed for the fuel pump. I'll clean it up real nice with hinges and then put my toolbox in place over it. Still need to install the radiator, overflow tank, new water pump, left side battery tray, air intake, and clean everything up....then drive it to get the exhaust done

I like the fuel door idea. Even though it isn't to bad to pickup the bed that still makes it a lot easier.
