    New here from California - LQ9/SAS

    Hey all new here from CA, thought I'd post some info about my project:

    1993 Chevy K1500
    Built 4L60E (Beast Sun shells, 8 Pinion Planetary etc,.)
    Rebuilt NP241c
    Custom double cardan Drive shaft from Texas Driveshaft Specialties

    Plans:

    Motor - LQ9 block started as a brand new 0 miles bare short block that was assembled, measured for clearance, bored to 4.070" and honed as well as deck plated.

    Motor specs:
    • 317 Heads (Aluminum LQ9) – Chamfered, Pocket ported, and machined.
    • 24x - 58x Reluctor Wheel conversion completed
    • Cam: http://www.summitracing.com/parts/tfs-30602001
    • 8.1L Marine Injectors LQ9 for 01’-02’ Escalade @ 34 lbs.
    • Dura-Bond High Performance Coated Bearings
    • Upgraded Coated Main Bearings
    • Coated Rods
    • Comp Cams Push rods (7637-16)
    • LS7 Lifters
    • LS3 Rocker Arms w/ Trunion Kit Upgrade
    • Comp Valve Springs
    • LS1 Timing Chain
    • Comp Cam Timing Chain
    • Melling 10355 Oil Pump
    • Harmonic external balancer (594-209)
    • Intake/Throttle Body/Harness with Fuel Rail out of a 2002 escalade (6.0) as well
    • Flexplate (adapts LQ9/LS to Old GM 4L60E): http://www.summitracing.com/parts/tci-399753

    Motor is assembled, waiting to install Dirty Dingo Motor Accessory truck brackets. However, I'm not sure whether to fork over the big bucks for the Holley EFI kit because I am trying to swap this:

    • Using my original 93' 4L60E & NP241c (VSS is on tail of tcase)
    • Retain drivability in 4Lo (I've been told may be problematic but can set 2 different tunes to accomodate normal drive and when in 4Lo)

    Anyone out here tried to swap a LS motor and retain there original 4L60E? 2wd or 4wd?
    What route did you go and how - Flashed computer, Standalone, etc,.


    Drive Train - SAS D60 Ford Driver drop and 14 bolt Full float

    • ARB Air Locker F+R
    • Yukon Inner/Outer Axles
    • Yukon Super Joints
    • Yukon 4.88 Gears
    • TSM Manufacturing 14 bolt disc brake conversion
    • Off Road Design Spring Hangars

    Much more to come, still waiting for suspension and brakes.

    I'll post pictures of everything when I get some more time !
