I believe I used regular truck hoses from 2003 and up. I purchased a coupler to splice in the top hose for the steam line from the heads- ovaddiesr

Oil pressure is important because the gmt400 ecm needs to see oil pressure before the fuel pump will fire up.- ovaddiesr

I’m using the 96 harness to read the sensors to my gauges. The ls harness only runs the engine once it’s started. I put an adapter on the block to read oil pressure on the back of the block(the ls ecm doesn’t need it). I used an adapter on the passenger head to read coolant temp (the ls ecm uses...- ovaddiesr

I just printed out the stuff from LT1 swap on google. Traced everything down and it was pretty simple. My Speedo still doesn’t work because I need another vss signal but it’s been working great- ovaddiesr

Completely different. The threaded end is bigger than the hole itself. Makes me wonder why is the nbs ball joint stud so small- ovaddiesr

Btw I didn’t just slap those rusty knuckles on. I disassembled them, vapor degrease, abrasive blast with 180 grit, ream the top ball joint hole, zinc nickel plated both, painted black, reassembled and mounted.- ovaddiesr

So I decided to do the nbs brake knuckle upgrade because I run into brake fade and molten hot rotors every time I do some spirited driving. Last time I tried to slow down from over 130mph I warped both the tiny drilled and slotted rotors. The back hold up fine but since they are disc conversion...- ovaddiesr

Some pics of the recent stuff I did. I’ve taken care of what I feel are most of the weak points so I’m seeing a turbocharger in the near future.- ovaddiesr

I didn’t make the mounts. I just used an Escalade rear end with the mounts built onto it already. The first time I installed the sway bar I used exhaust clamps on the axle. It won’t let me post the pics I have so I’ll try again in a few.- ovaddiesr

So it’s been a while and I decided to build a nice unit before my oem one craps out. It’s a 4l65e and I’m rebuilding it with a nice kit and I also just finished rebuilding a transfer case. I’ll mount the two when the weather gets better or I can move things around in the garage to do it indoors- ovaddiesr

Good to know. My 408 was at 503 before the detune. Right now it’s dialed in with a tbss cam for a nice DD. So far my setup has been great but next weak link will be the trans/transfer case. I might modify a support to run a 6l80e or 4l80E. Whichever route I go it will have to keep 4x4- ovaddiesr

I decided to knock this out during the summer because I daily my motorcycle. During bad weather I drive my Escalade or 2500hd.- ovaddiesr

I saw that as well but I wanted a oem look and fit. Exhaust claps also may shift under a lot of stress- ovaddiesr
