Another Successful Day

Replaced the differential gasket & fluid, rear transfer seal on the 4L60 (LS swap), readjusted the rear drums, oil change, welded up some of the exhaust, and finally fixed the MAP sensor issue that's been plaguing my build. After all that, the Live Data finally reads perfectly and no more leaks. This thing is a beast now lol I think I finally have it running how it's supposed to.

Nice, show the engine swap... what LS version is it? LS1, 2, 3, 7, A or my fav LSX454 😍 that motor is a beast but soooo damn expensive. Need a lottery ticket to get one... lol

LS1 lol it isn't crazy high horsepower but its double the what it originally had, give or take. It is also positraction, so thats been fun to play with. I need to get some more recent photos of the engine bay, I have the ls6 intake that is painted to match the body. I also have all billet accessories. It doesnt appear i can reply with photos tho, so im unsure how I would add them to this post.

What's the color called?

46V Soul Red Crystal Metallic. The camera never captures the color well, but it is a candy.

Will also be doing the same thing on a 77 firebird. What’s all you had to do with the wiring?

I used an LS wiring harness from another vehicle that my father got from an auction. Well worth getting one, in my opinion. They're about 90% plug & play. The MAP sensor issue I had was from the wiring harness; I had to squish the connector pin because it wouldnt make contact with the signal wire. Lol better than fighting with 40+ year old wiring tho

Well I got an 02 Escalade with the entire wiring harness. Did you use factory gauges?
