Need resources for parts to put LSX engine into 96-98 K1500
I am looking to put a 370ci LS1 into my 97 Z71, and want to know if there are any places that offer things like motor mounts, crossmembers, oil pans, headers, ect. for this type of swap. I know that there is a heck of a lot out there for the F body guys, but haven't seen anything for trucks. Any info is greatly apreciated, Thank you.

save yourself some cash my friend.
LS1truck.com is gonna be your new best friend.
if i was you id go with a 6.0/80E set up OR a 5.3/60E combo with a shift kit, servos, and LOW miles.
first i cant tell you how to rewire your harness to work with the motor.
if you already have a vortec your fuel pump is fine.
now as far as your fuel filter, fittings youll need to save some cash.
you'll need a 00 corvette fuel filter(30.00-50.00 depending where you get it)
adapter plates which ever ones set your engine in the factory location! i have custom ones they cost 95.00 shipped(well worth it)
[B](2) 640850
(2) 640860
(2) 610020
(2) 610090
(1) 639200
(1) 800-155[/B](do not get the 800-154 it is the 5/16 double bead fuel line and it WILL not fit the vette filter. the damn summit guy is a moron!)
just these fittings will run you about 130.00
car-parts.com is your friend when it comes to your engine selection.
i hear your stock radiator will work but im unsure.
im going to be running the 05 radiator and e-fans.
they do make LTs for our trucks with the LSx swap
about 475.00
Nelson Performance has the harnesses for the swap(650 plus shipping for just harness and 800 plus shipping with a tuned computer)
you'll need a DBC TB if you get a 03-07 classic motor bc they have DBW TBs.
pm me any questions and ill do my best to answer you or i can try and find out for you.
post up some pics of the future LSx powered truck.

TRUE! and it is INSANE! maybe thArf can chime in on what he had to buy for his 4x4 as far as fittings. my list might not be needed bc he has an earlier year truck...
