    88-98 LS Motor Swap Pics......

    I am looking for pics or links to pics of this conversion. I also need to know what motor munts you used in the picture if possible. I am using a 6.0l out of a 02 model 2500 truck. My truck is bagged and body dropped and want to make sure I have enough clearance on top and bottom. Does the oil pan hang down below the frame on these trucks?

    The truck pan will hang way to low, just get a pan,windage tray, and pick up tube from an LS1 F-body and you'll be set. As for the mounts go with a 1" setback.

    Yes, the Camaro/Firebird years that had the LS1 engines, with the pan he wants, were the 1998 through 2002 cars. Also known as the "F-Body" cars.

    Are the 1" set back plates absolutely necessary on a 88-98 Truck? I have the regular plates that I used on my 1981 K5 Blazer 2wd that I am going to use in my 1994 Crew Cab project.

    CTS-V or a Hummer H3 oilpan may work better for you.
