that was a fantastic video. im about to do an ls swap on my 1971 formula. any suggestions on where to start. do you know it I can just take everything from a donor vehicle and just sit everything down in there without changing oil pans etc?

[@kravmaga7070]

ok some of this IS NOT making sense. i put battery power to the terminal he said on left hand side of fuseblock facing up. Also hooked up my factory car fuseblock wire here so both have constant power. Where i get confused is the loop over wire to constant power supply. Im sure i tested that far right stud and there was no power there. So is B11 supplying constant power to that stud and that stud powers something else in the fuseblock? or is B11 supposed to be connected to constant power supply? What do i do with the starter crank/trigger wire? is that one and the same as distributor power wire that goes to A9?

I have a similar engine ls3, I did the electrics as you have in the video. We programmed the computer and turned off the "vats system". Unfortunately, the engine did not start. High voltage comes to the spark plugs, but no impulse comes to the injectors. Maybe you can advise me what could be the reason. Diagnostics shows me the error P0315. The sensor is working. Thank you very much in advance

What year fuse box are you using?

Nice did u drop motor and transmission as an assembly

[@ericknapp9297]

Is there any concern over leaving the fuse block wires that are not used hooked up to the fuse block? I just dont want to have a random hot wire hanging around like the wire that loops back thru the fuse block and has a key on power source. I might be lazy, but I would love to just leave the depinned wires in the loom in case I use a new age transmission in the future.

[@jamaalbey6306]

I still have the stock wiring in my truck how did you make the starter wire and car key work

[@mikeytuned8944]

I normally use the existing starter wiring and tap into a key on power source from the original ignition source.. you can use the ls starter wiring by wiring an ignition cranking source to pin a3 on the c1 block wich sends ignition cranking signal to the factory ls starter relay
