LY6 to C6
I'm building the GM cheap 6.0 LSX, aka LY6,
this on a C6 w/o engine, so cannot just swap accesory
Can my old LS1 P/S pump/bracket/pulley ?
Also, can i use :
- used LY6 water pump with LS3 intake ?
- new LS1 water pump gasket ?
- used LS1 engine metal support ?
I will also (re)use:
- LS1 idler pulley w/bolt
- a new LS6 alternator bracket
- my old LS1 alternator
I will do some work:
- drill and tap a hole in the block for the alternator bracket (boss already on the block)
- machine 3 spacers 3/4" wide/22mm diameter/10mm inner hole for the alternator bracket (the LS1 one seem to be spaced to match the LS3 accesory belt)
- new GM LS1 water pump gasket (2x)
- new GM LS1 cranckshaft bolt
And i will buy:
- GM 12570788 Corvette C6 dipstick
- GM 12570787 Corvette C6 dipstick tube
- GM 12586481 timing gear
- GM 12586481 LS2 3 bolt 4x cam sprocket
- GM 12600326 front cover 6L2 w/o SC, manual trans
- GM 12633904 front cover gasket 6L2 w/o SC
- GM 12591720 camshaft position sensor
- GM 12627501 camshaft position sensor harness
- GM 12585673 front cover seal
- GM LS2 chain (enforced 12586482) or (findable 12646386)
- GM LS2 updated timing chain guide
- GM LS3 intake manifold and fuel rail
- new camshaft bolts (have only found ARP, but the ARP-134-1003 ARP cam sprocket bolts is only $8)
- better oil pump (10296)
- 3 bolts cam
If you see i forget something, please tell me ;-)
