things I need to get or have, and need help from members who have done the swap.

I have weiand alluminum intake, ls1 water pump


Need, ls1 map sensor,relocate bracket for idler pulley,belt,egr block off plate, get new pulley and pressed on.

that should be all I need to do the swap the cheap way. Using my injectors and fuel rails and cross over tube. wont look pretty but should be able to do the swap for about 600 bucks.

Am I missing anything else?? thanks for the help.

 

If you are using the ls1 pump, arent you gonna have to switch over to ls1 accessory drive as well?

 

You using the early model pump with the bolt-on pulley or are you gonna press your truck pulley on there?

 

going to get new pulley from dealer and have it pressed on. sorry need to add that lol.

 

You'll also need to make a bracket for your fuel rails in addition to making the idler bkt

I dont know if you can buy the press on pulley seperate or not
"bolt on yes"

If it were me and I were trying to go the cheapest route with a cable driven TB

I believe I would first attempt cutting the neck of the trk WP down
then 90 it like yelo did
If I didnt like that, I would cut the shaft right below the trk WP pulley and have the shaft pressed out
Then I would cut the pulley off the car intake (not the shaft) to give you room to have its pulley pressed off without damaging the pump
next have the truck pulley pressed on

Only thing that worries me is damage to the pump but im sure it can be done

I bought a 97 vette wp/ bolt on pulley and spaced the pulley out about 5/8"
it will also need to be drilled and tapped for the tensioner with a small spacer below it (like shown in pic)

seems simpler than the whole press on press off thing
anyways, here it is for reference

I've got an extra waterpump pulley for a truck if you want one. Pm me.

fuel rais mounting location using the stock trk stuff wont work
they dont line up
holes on center or height wise

 

Stock truck rails do work on an ls1 intake. I've done it myself and so has twobit.

I dont know why everyone is going to so much trouble for the ls6 intake. Do a carb intake and be done. You won't have to touch the front accessories and all will be well.
