5.7 vette LS1.

Couple of questions for the wiring guys. I believe the PCM already has the pins for using a standard cable TB. However the harness was designed for the stupid fly by wire system so i have a regular TB but I figure I am going to need to get the pig tails from some place and change the pins on the ECM. Does any one know which ones exactly I need to pin in and where? That would be a great help to me. Thanks


Modified crossmemeber.

few questions for you and mikespeed. althou mine is a s14. how much space is between the oil pan and steering rack? i got mine about a 1/4-3/8 inch atm. i aint fabbed up my mounts yet. also did you you solid mount the motor in? atm my plan is to use the camaro mounts which i filled with high temp chalk and that made em alot stiffer. then going to fab up a new U bracket. but would like to solid mount it cause its very tight in there. i got hinson headers which clear the steering shaft but its still real tight everywhere (up down left and right). the hood does close (motor and tran sitting on jacks to confirm hood would close) and the shifter is alittle foward of the stock location (around 2-3 inch). and the way i cut my crossmember is just like yours is in that pic.

chins done everything him self so far. im actually back in tx right now tryign to get a truck to pull my trailer with.


my ls13 is on the hinson stuff still, honestly i think i measured over 2'' between the pan and the subframe, one of the goals with chin's car was to slam that way down lower, which hes done a great job of. i think he said hell have pics of that tomorrow.


both are solid. he actually used a sbc adaptor plate and then just used the aluminum for a mount. he said more pics tomorrow when i was talking to him about it earlier.

if you can make that fit and still be low go for it. the setup here seems very simple though.


hmm...mine is about an 1'' forward where it should be, and chin's motor seems to be further back than mine.

What year/car PCM you plan to use? I can get the pin out for the IAC for that PCM if you tell me which year and car. I believe there are 4 wires for the IAC. You have to reprogram your PCM to an Fbody software.

right now i believe it thinks its a reprogramed Z06 2001 but we all know that wont work out ill probably want to use the 2001 F body program or 2002 since there is no EGR or anything. If you could find out that would be great!

chin,

how well does the front of your pan clear the swaybar? i notched my subframe similar to yours but further back by about 1/2" and when i set the pan in there with the bellhousing bolted to it it pretty much wedges the sump between the swaybar and the notch in the subframe. maybe i'm just trying to get the motor to sit too low but i can't notch the subframe any more than it is.

dunno about everyone else but we had to beat the holy hell out of the firewall about 2' past the pittsburg lap. the pittsburg was really hard to beat back so we added alittle heat then beat on it to get the motor back and the tranny all the way up.

"hmm...mine is about an 1'' forward where it should be, and chin's motor seems to be further back than mine."

i think mine will go back farther, but was trying to make sure the motor had enough room to roll alittle for the rubber mounts. i changed my mine to go with solid thou now.

Here is the pin out for the IAC for a 2000 pontiac firebird:
Red-76 - LT GRN/WHT - CKT 1749 - IAC Coil B High
Red-77 - LT GRN/BLK - CKT 444 - IAC Coil B Low
Red 78 - LT BLU/BLK - CKT 1748 - IAC Coil A Low
Red 79 - LT BLU/WHT - CKT 1747 - IAC Coil A High.

The Z06 program won't work with manual TB control. It doesn't have any inputs for the IAC above. You will need to reprogram it with an fbody software.

Why didn't use the DBW came with the Z06?

The oil pan and the steering rack is very minimal like yours. My pana ctually sits about half an inch lower than the crossmemeber. The mounts are the mount adaptor kits and then i used a soild mount to connect the crossmemeber and the mount adaptor together. since the mount adapator is almost all rubber it has enough room to flex. The problem with sold mounts is I have seen in many cases the block actually cracks from to much TQ and stress that is why i left some movement in the assembly. I check and even with the corvette altenator and such it will still close. Havent checked shifter placement yet that is the next big to do on my car. I just finished banging the living **** out of my trans tunnel to make sure there is enough clearence for the t56 tranny. I should have the trans mount made by the end of this weekend maybe early next week.

My motor sits plenty low I havent check for sway bar clearence this is more of an after effect for me if I need to ill take a stock one and modfy it. I would hate to have to take out my expensive *** tanabe bar but i might have to to get it to work.

Thanks for the help. I didnt have traction control set up on my car so it would have been a royal pain for me to use the DBW i had acess to the petal assembly but its not worth it IMO we had it with a 02 maxima and everytime I would try to heal and toe it would be off a split second and mess up my downshift. Might you have the pin outs on the IACV so i know where in the plugs those go too? Thanks again
