Re: Keith's 65 Impala upgrade
I have been asked by a few people to compile a list of parts required to to a "B" body LS swap.......I'll try...............LOL.....
GM Connect and Cruise assy or equivalent ........The GM set-up consists of mostly everything needed (engine , trans, torque converter, sensors, harnesses, engine and trans controllers, O2 sensors and Bungs, Etc)
Motor Mount adaptor plates that raise the engine 5/8" to clear the cross member (made by me.....If interested PM me) generic plates won't work
Holley 302-1 Pan
Kwik Performance front drive set-up
GM starter
I like to use a 2006 GTO 140Amp alternator (jumper cable 4 pin to 2 pin) from Speartech
Classic Auto Air heat and A/C retro kit
Recommended to get a Aluminum LS Radiator assy with dual fans (your choice)
Dakota Digital VHX gauges
Dakota Digital Fan Controller
Dakota Digital OBD module to feed the gauges directly from the ECM
you will need to move your Trans Cross member frame mounts back to suit
your drive shaft will need to be shortened or made new
A new fuel system will be needed......Tanks makes an economical set-up including Tank, Fuel Pump, Fuel level sender, and filter regulator....or you can go with advanced technology using a Ricks tank set-up with a Vaporworx pump controller
New fuel lines and fittings
Probably forgot a lot but I will update as I remember
