Hey guys starting my first ls swap into my 85 swb chevy! Picked up motor, stand alone, fuel pump and stuff today, Kenny will have tranny ready tommarrow and the dingo motor mounts will be here Saturday! Ill keep pics and stuff posted as I go! Is there any secrets or things that would be nice to know during the swap?
My only advice is take your time, do things right the first time and make the install as clean and neat as you can, you will be pleased afterwards with the swap. post up some pics, any questions you have along the way will be answered here, great place for support and information
out of all the things involved I tried to save money on my harness. BIG mistake. I paid $450 for a POS. Now I am going to cough up another $650 for a good one. Most people use Nelson performance. They are the people I will use for my new one.
Not sure of the brand of this one it come with motor that I bought! Hope it's a good one cause I've heard nothing but bad on cheap ones!Originally Posted by lost06

seemed to be the mounts of most people's choice! More pics as I go
