My LS swap in 2 dr 2 wd tahoe

[Wagonbacker9]

the vortech TB cable should work fine.

Yeah the cable will work, its the bracket that holds the cable from the LS motor that I need.
Ill just have to go to a used auto parts yard and grab one along with the bolts

Made a list and checked it twice. Ha
Got everything that was missing from the list on Friday. Stopped by a local used auto junk yard and received my pig tails on Saturday. Really looking forward to this Friday

Now the list attached is what i had to buy on top of cam, AC bracket, wideband and headers. That in it self is $890. So This swap could have been done for about $1100. Maybe less if I would have bought a complete motor with all accessories and harness.
But i just had to have that. I still have to take it a muffler shop to get my exhaust run. I bought a Magnaflow knock off with 3" in and 2-2.5" out. for $45 shipped

$32 Stock exhaust gaskets

My Schoenfelds came with manifold gaskets and bolts.

 

[99kon]

Yeah mine did too but i preffer the stock gaskets. I have always used them on headers from my TBSS to my most recent truck with no leaks ever. For $30 keeps me from ever having to replace them if the other ever fail.

You were switching to electric fans too? Right?

 

[Wagonbacker9]

Pacesetter Y with shoenfeld headers I would say was a gamble, but if you have a welder you'll make it work. If not, an exhaust shop will.


If you need any OE parts, I have several extras kicking around here. I also have a leadpipe that goes behind the Y pipe, got a 2x4 version with my flowmaster catback.
