Call SIKKY they already have a bracket for your tranny made. Also, I have a mount you can have from them I didnt use.

 

Stu, thanks for the add.

Hvbrid, thanks for the pics. such a solid build. ONe day...soon

 

To me every time I see an ls swap, I'm amazed at how small the motor is, well looks. Is it just me?

 

STU... you should post a video on youtube so everyone here can enjoy! I tried to check out your FB page but can't see it without being a friend.

 

Also, are you guys swapping ls3 motors in? I've seen a few done, and one lsx. Any advice on what motor I should look into?

 

I picked the ls3 because it has a better heads better manifold and higher output already it's also newer 2011 as this will be my daily driver I want to get a lot of life out of this motor. the Camaro SS comes with the TR 6060 transmission and it's supposed to be an upgrade to the T 56. I got a full pull meaning engine transmission wire harness all accessories and pedals ECU and MAF all that extra stuff really adds up and it was a savings for me to go this way rather than a crate motor. the downside is most of the other guys have been doing ls1 or ls2's and some things are different.....so it feels a little riskier for those of us that are not mechanics and fabricators as a profession

 

Got ya I appreciate your input. I will be taking it to a shop as swaps are over my head.

 

I can do it as long as you have all the parts available for some labor and time $.

 

Stu and Hybrid, what are you guys using for radiator/fans? OEM?

I'm planning on running AC and I heard that the temps will go too high if so, with the OEM rad.

Thanks

 

Mishimoto dual core and dual fans.

 

Can you post or pm me a pic of the clearance?

Thanks!

 

Here's the clearance I dealt with

 

Heres another pic

 

Thanks. Your radiator hose looks molded. Where did you get it? Did you replace your fans as well?

 

^ I was wondering the same exact things.
