something about the brake booster connecting to the back of the intake manifold. wouldn't that be a stock piece?Originally Posted by banker099
also, for the radiator hose modification (for the line to the TB), can you just use a brass 1/4" T-fitting & hose clamps?
yeah i used a t fitting on the extra coolant hose...the brake booster vacuum line is just a vacuum line so it should be easy to make something work
does anyone have pictures of both ends of the Summit fuel line adapter pieces installed? that would be a big help

another question...
where exactly & with what did you cut the 4.3 fuel lines? did you do anything to the evap tube & does the 5.3 plug up to it with no modification?

My buddy had a small pipe cutter that we used. Real easy to do, and I bouught 1ft. long steel braided fuel line, and so I cut the fuel lines behind the intake close to the fire wall and then put those fittings I showed you, on there

i found a decent deal on an 01 LM7. now the question is - will everything line up correctly with a 99 trans? didn't they do something different with the crankshaft length in 01? i'll also be using the 4.8 flywheel/clutch setup with it. (with the 99 models, the 4.8 & 5.3 used the same flywheel/clutch so i reckon it would've later on too. i test-fitted 02 models with each other & they bolted on & lined up with the starter, so i should be good as far as that goes)

Should be a straight swap. The 6L LQ4 was the only one that had some different stuff, crank length.

Starter is the same on all 4.8 and 5.3 engines in 2001 regardless of trans. PM returned.
