Also have my motor out and sc off... Pics in my thread too... Lots of us undergoing 1GR surgery! Just let us know what you want to see.... Empty engine bays, bare blocks ect lol


Hope all goes well with the motor pull bro! I left the trans in but if I were to do it again its waay easier to pull it!

Trying to make a account on lstech. Acting up for some reason. Trying to figure out all this ls1 jargon. Lol

I honestly know jack shit about building ls's. I might leave the engine building to the experts. Just need to figure out what im doing regarding the go fast goodies. Im not uncomfortable with building engines, (toyota/lexus), I just dont have the experience with gm sbc.



Hottaco, im not using the stock trans in my lsx build, so everything is coming out. :top:

 

[dramad1]

Out w/the old! Ill let kev elaborate before posting more but I couldn't resist these 2 pics for now.

Man I wanna help out but I'm too far :/
Can't wait too see more progress on this :top:

So as told by Dan, the engine and trans are out. Started around 10am, plus a 1 hour lunch break had her out by 2pm. Wasn't that bad. Hard part was solved by us afro engineering the cherry picker to hold the trans up, through the shifter hole in the cab. An extra set of hands or second jack would have made it easier, but you make due with what you have. :top:

Two weeks for now, will be installing my blower on Dans truck, and just waiting on hottacox, hich means some $$$$...then comes the fun part of picking out which LS i want...:rockon:

I actually found complete 05/05 GTO engine, trans, accys, ecu and harness in my price range...If i take an engine and harness/ecu from a 05 or newer car/truck, i can actually make my truck smog legal if i so please. Just need a EVAP canister from a GTO. If my illegal smog hook-up falls through, its nice to know i can make it road legal if needed

It also helps that that engine is a LS2...so 405 crank hp. Which is nice. More power is always nice...Down side being its drive-by wire. So many options, like a kid in a candy store. :crinklehair:..so many choices...


One idea i have been toying with is just putting everything in, as is in a "Stock" form, just so i can get it all running, in, mounted plumed and wired. Then worry about building it, modifying and making more power. It will be much easier to track down teething problems if the engine is stock, with stock internal components. So i cant blame drivabilty problems on tune, parts...etc. :top: Will still do things like the upgraded clutch and oil pan. As both of those are 100% needed to for the build and some sort of drift reliability. Custom headers and intake are a given...Then once i learn more about these engines, i can pick out the right mods to really make her scream

Plus....it will end up back on the road much faster...:blurock:



Oh, my SPEC clutch after 25k miles of VERY hard driving was in excellent condition. No stress cracks on it like my Comp clutch had, no sings of fatigue and failure. Loads of material left too. Finally, i found a part in our Toyota parts catalog that i finally call drift approved. :top:

Sickness. Thanks kev. Hit me up whenever.

 

[Sproulesxrunner]

Did you ever find the cause of the engine failure? I can't wait to see your LS/T56 build. Any plans for the LS and T56? Boost? Tranzilla?
