Thanks! Worked on the trailing arms today. Took them off and begin cleaning them up.

Has anyone run a 1/2" fuel line for their engine swap? The LS 7 series motors are recommended to have 1/2 " fuel lines. Anyone put in 1/2" lines?

Cleaning, painting and reassembly
 
The slow process keeps moving ahead.

Roof re-do
 
Today we finished cutting the roof off. Sometimes you have to do things the second time to get it right. Sometimes you have to do it yourself or with friends who I wish I had done this originally.

Carbon fiber roof?

Trailing arms look good. Did you wire wheel them or chemical clean them?

Yan2947 06-25-2025 04:10 AM

Just wire wheel.

Nice

Long day working on the fuel lines and then putting the front suspension and steering rack back on, followed by the gas tank. Those fuel lines are a pain in the butt to install, and there is no room for error. Last week I painted the front trunk area to clean it up a little.

Wiring
 
Spent a good part of last couple weeks on wiring and finishing up all the burnt wires and making all the connections. I have a pretty good grasp on everything now I was hoping someone could help me out with this one last harness that I have a feeling I’m going to need as opposed to removing it. If I need it, I might just put a connection on it and then run it to where I need it anyone else tackle it is a photo of the eight wire harness that I originally cut from the other portion of the harness, I believe, probably went to the computer of the original car. here are the photos, one describing the harness, but perhaps someone could give me it in Laymans terms.

Getting ready to test Fit the motor maybe next week so I finally got it off It’s GM wooden Crate. Don’t know if anyone knows what alternator did you purchase for your LS? How much amperage did you decide to go with if you know and if you have your model number for your alternator that would be great thanks! Also, which oil pan did you get? My 89 has the flat one this one’s too big I think.

I did a little test fit of the engine and tranny today. Want to see where all my wiring will lay out.

This project looks awesome :eek:

That red pops like crazy. Definitely following.

Have been working on the wiring for quite a while and finished installing a bulkhead connector from maven Performance. I am able to put the main ECU and the LS7’s fuse box on the floor behind the driver seat. This way I really keep the engine day much less cluttered.
