im going to be joining the LSx crowd very shortly

Well I wasn't comparing what your trying to do to the TT build. I mean it was a 5k TT kit + the other mods it had.

I haven't looked into a build your doin so I'm not sure price wise if you were to buy a GTO and make it let say a low 11sec to 10sec car. Which honestly is not hard. The large portion of money is tied up in buying a GTO. After that the formula is easy; drag bags, tire, clutch, cam, spray, and tune. You could do a few minor mods to help but those things can you 10's in a GTO.

The truck idea is cool. I've always wanted to do one. Just have Brandon tune it and it'll run smooth, lol.

i know what ur saying but for less than half the price of the gto alone the truck would be movin pretty good

Allen Nelson (nelsonperformance) has a site www.LS1truck.com with many people who have done such a swap. In case you need help

I was planning on doing this to my 94 Sierra RCSB when I was gonna rebuild it after it was totaled but never did. Only I was going to LQ4 it. That'll be a fun toy

I can understand that! Most of the time people over look trucks, this sounds like a fun build! Can't wait to see it finished!

Thats all I got to contribute.

Do yourself a HUGE favor. buy the victor intake and a MSD 6010 box. The edelbrock one is non programmable. It rely's on timing chips....and the timing chips are WAY to high of timing for an LS based motor. I just went through this. The MSD 6010 is nice. You can plot timing maps and run a map sensor to plot advance curves or pull timing for nitrous and turbo's. Plus is has a nice 2 step built in. It literally took me 15 minutes to hook up and fire the motor. Its actually cheaper buying them separately.....ask me how I know...Lol.

BTW...the 6010 box is for 24 tooth reluctor
The 6012 box is for 58.

if i dont end up fixing up the 4x4 on my truck its a 92 so its that boxy look im going to lower it and swap in a ls1 with a twin turbo set up on it and have it a dd. but that way the hell down the road

Or this....

414 inch LS motor with a 114. Its been 8.50 @ 162...and he drives it everywhere. Lol

what exactly are the advantages to going carb?

That shit is hot, i don't care who you are. DO WANT.

Ditch those wheels and door molding and I agree!

 

[Junk86]

Some people like them, and can tune them easier then injection. And cost...thats about it..Lol.

 

[Frank Dukes]

but that FAST 4150 is basically a carb style EFI throttle body?, is that what im gathering here?

Agreed

how hard is it to wire the computer stuff from the newer truck into the older, I have a standard cab 95' with a 5speed that I have been wanting to do this swap on since I bought it but dont want to go with a carb set up since I use the truck to pull my boat and I dont know much about the pcm wireing for either truck

Its easier to just swap the harness.

 

[HILROD]

oh its happening Brandon! ive wanted to do this for a long time! im dead set on this, no turning back!

HA! You best get a 95 or before if it's carbed. The grille is only a swap away.

i'm down with hot rod trucks !

You are correct, but who said anything about a 4150 TB?

 

[Frank Dukes]

snailblazer.. was just curious, always like to learn what i can.

Looks like this is going to be the truck!!!!
Let it begin!

 

[PANDA]

You should have stuck with the GTP.

 

[Frank Dukes]

because...?

 

[PANDA]

because...?

Because he had it pretty well modded up. I know its different but building up a pickup truck does not sound like the most efficient way of doing things. Not to mention he has one of those trucks already for plowing.

 

[KAR]

Hey panda not everyone is 3800

 

[red04regencyrst]

i gotta say go for it wessel. i love the look on people's faces when they hear what should be a sports car coming and then see my truck, and its even better when you run someone down on the highway and they are sitting there scratching their heads going how the fuck did that just happen. lol.
