It's certainly a fun swap.

Sorry to bring up an older thread, but I am trying to find out how much the swap cost.

I have a KA-T that I am getting bored of and am looking to go big without spending big.

Well you goofed. Look around 6k. Yes motor can be had cheap, but then you gotta swap shit out, + t56 + headers and mount kit.

It's going to be expensive unless you fab e'ry thang yourself.

a/c?

Did you ever get around to that a/c? you got a write-up or anything on it? I got a L33 I'm putting together and it's to F'ing hot in Texas to go w/o A/C

Up the tread a bit he says that he used a GTO front sump oil pan, my question is how did the shifter line up in the car when it was all said and done?

What wiring harness did you go with for the swap I am using a stock 5.3 truck harness and can't decide where to buy the swap harness

Sorry to interrupt on this thread, but what did you use to relocate the alternator, do f body accessory mounts from ls1 swap onto the 5.3? This is my dilemma atm.

I went with Daft Innovations mounting setup and can only comment on the lack of communication from Rich, but the parts are great quality for the swap.

It's a fairly stock setup that I plan on putting a/c in within the next couple weeks because 105 degree FL temperatures kill the fun of the car during the summer. I'll list my setup on this

-5.3 LM7 Longblock
-00 Camaro T56 Trans
-LS6 intake mani, fuel rails, injectors and tb
-Daft Innovations 1 7/8" long tube headers
-3" Custom Y pipe
-3" Catback Greddy exhaust
-Daft Innovations mount kit
-s13 5 lug swap
-j30 diff
-Megan Street Coilovers
-Varrstoen 18x9.5 +12 (235/40), 18x10.5 +15 (265/35)
-3.5" Intake w/ K&N filter

Exterior
-s13 silvia front end w/ dual projectors
-s13 origin type 1 30mm rear overfenders
-s13 silvia CF hood painted to match

It took about 2 months for me to actually complete the build and drive it once I had the shell back from paint.

On to the pictures...







Ls6 intake mani that got broken during shipping.



Getting the motor setup at the house



Daft Mounts and some accessories on the longblock



This is where UPS dropped my transmission, it was lovely. Smashed the tailhousing in on it.















New carpet put in the car with the new dash







Getting close to going in the car!



Test fitting the wheels on the car.







Here's the fun, the bastard fits.







It's on the ground again



Working on getting the headers to slide in and fit.





First time it moved under it's own power!























Yes it runs flawlessly and I will get up some videos this week for yall.


Pretty much, i've started from the barebones and worked my way through this so I feel pretty confident in helping anyone on here that has any specific questions regarding the LSX swap.

Thanks, Tyler.
hey bro nice car lol kinda jealous,quick question,for the accessories did you just get ls1 all around or did you use special brackets like dirty dingo for example. cause im kinda confused with this step. thanks you.

How much did this all cost? How much was spent just on the engine swap? How did you do the wiring?
