    Carbureted LS Swap on 1990 GMC w/ 700r4

    Called Jegs and they assured me I have the right kit. I guess I'll know for sure when I go to mate the engine and trans.

    Carbureted LS Swap on 1990 GMC w/ 700r4

    Now, that I'm looking at it. I dont understand why they packaged a "dished" flexplate with a crankshaft spacer. I'm going to reach out to Jegs to see.

    Carbureted LS Swap on 1990 GMC w/ 700r4

    I bought them as a package from Jegs and thought it was necessary based on this guide

    Carbureted LS Swap on 1990 GMC w/ 700r4

    Thank you and that ends up being much cheaper since monster was going to charge $28 for shipping.

    I also saw this that is considerably cheaper that I think uses oil pressure instead of vacuum. https://www.jegs.com/i/American-Autowire/073/500412/10002/-1

    Carbureted LS Swap on 1990 GMC w/ 700r4

    Thank you. This is the first I’m hearing of this. I found a motortrend article suggesting it’s optional but sounds like you feel it’s more important than they do. I may see how it drives without it at least at first...

    Carbureted LS Swap on 1990 GMC w/ 700r4

    Has anyone attempted or (hopefully) completed this swap? I have a 1990 GMC 1500 RCSB. It had a 350/700r4. I recently pulled the 350 and purchased a complete 6.0 LQ4 with DBC throttle body. I previously purchased an LS carb set up so my plan is to get it running on the carb initially, and switch...

    350 is gone. Unfortunately, the trans fell out too and puked fluid all over my driveway. Luckily, I have an understanding wife, lol. I bought an LQ4 yesterday and have it stored in my back patio. Need to get it in quickly before the HOA letters come. I couldn't find a good thread on doing a...

I have everything but the bellhousing and motor mounts unbolted and disconnected. Found a real good deal on a ls carb intake, 600 cfm carb, and MSD 6014 on...

    I was actually thinking of swapping the rear axle/brakes and front brakes from a gmt400 2500LD. Will the GMT800 rear axle's bolt up or are the spring perches in different spots? I would prefer to go with GMT800 for the reasons you mentioned but didnt think it was an option w/o serious...

    Maybe this would be a good option when I get there. Its new so I dont think its been tested by the market yet. https://www.psiconversion.com/products/vehicle_parts/chevy/1940-1998_chevy_gmc_pickup_suburban/OBS/OBS-IRS-KIT.html
