no u can use truck fuel rails and injectors. ls1 intake would be fine but you'll end up loosing power over the truck intake. the way i did it i believe is the cheapest and cleanest looking way.

I'd like to keep the truck intake, but I can't because of clearance issues with the hood. Thanks for the info.
I started on this swap and have it all done exept the water pump. I read that you could use the stock truck water pump on cable style throttle bodies but since I have a nitrous plate it ended up hitting the neck. Still waiting on my l92 water pump to arrive and then I'll take some pics. I recommend to order an l92 or ls1 style pump prior to starting on the swap.
whats a ruff estimate on price to do a ls6 intake conversion on the 5.3. and how much of a difference am i looking at in hp and torque??
Great write up thanks I just got my new Idler pulley bracket today just need the intake and water pump and the install should be done in no time.
Here are some pics of the bracket they made compared to the regular bracket that i got from a member.

Nice looking billet :thumb:
What are you doing with the other one??? Want to sell it??
that billet piece is nice if you don't need clearance for the pulley. I didn't think of that earlier. Have you bolted the idler pulley to it yet?
Yes Want to buy it?Quote:

I sure do. I was going to make my own but im lazy haha.
How much do you want for it??
Send me an email for more details: low_lq4@hotmail.com
I want $50 shipped for the extra one I have.
HAHA ill pass, thanks though.
looks like you'll be making your own then :lol:
what all would be needed from an ls1 to convert to the ls1 style accessories? Can I use a truck alternator? I know i will need the water pump and brackets but what else?
tensioner with pulley, idler pulley, bolts, water pump, harmonic balancer, brackets for p/s pump, p/s pump, alternator bracket. I hear the truck alternator will work but have never tried one.
How much you think it would cost to buy all those accessories? I'm wanting to buy the fast 90 setup.. but thats $1200 instantly right there.. Just trying to see if its in budget since i'm getting my tax refund..
please delete
Great info, nice pics. Does Anyone have the Idler pulley relocation bracket part number (either speartech or the area 51 bracket), the longer belt part number and a website that I can get these from?
I have had my 90mm LSX intake way too long to not be used on my LQ4.
Thanks, Sean.

you can either pull it out some with a puller for it to line up with the rest of the accessories or pull it completly off and press the truck pulley on it.Quote:

Since My Truck Is Cable Tb,do U Kno If The Bracket From The Camaro Would Work?or Do I Also Need The Cable?
Just curious why you tapped a new hole for the valve cover vent and plugged the existing one? Also the PCV goes to the small nipple opposite the brake vacuum on the rear of the manifold, is this correct.
Never mind, figured it out.
where can i get relocation bracket or is it somethin i will have to have fabbed
can either fab one up or buy a longer bolt for the idler pulley, space it out to align with the other pulleys, and place it in the very top hole for the alt and p/s bracket.
