Very Nice. The intake came out great.

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

I am guessing that the radiator hose doodad is there as a coupler to make a custom hose.

ECM will control the fans.

I got nothing else...

With the Dakota Digital fan controller it is way easier to run two fans with separate on/off temperatures and tie into the AC system. Since the fan controller runs off of the OBDII port (CAN) that gets a signal from the CTS anyways you have the same accuracy with more adjustability for the end user.

If you have a single, one speed fan, use the ECM and tie the trinary switch into the relay.

If you have easy access to tuning software and can add some wires to the EFI harness, use the ECM, PWM, and an AC pressure switch.
