Re: First AWD turbo LS1 swap

Awesome build... Did the truck really get parted out?

Yes it was parted out. One of my biggest complaints of those doing LSx swaps is many of the failed conversions end up getting parted out when the owner loses interest or realizes these swaps aren't that cheap.

Well, I started mine finally I am transplanting a 5.3 w/73k miles...removed the front clip, motor and transmission.
Received the following parts:
-transfer case adapter
-RPM solid engine mounts
-Meldon oil pan
-Stedman headers
-Painless harness

Ordered the following parts:
-ABS Delete (HTP)
-Radiator (Summit -CRI-1-25271-X)
-Dorman Fans (RB620005)
-160 degree thermostat
-cable TB (looking for used or purchase one from Summit)

Is there anything else you guys can think of that I may have missed?
