Red Headed Stepchild-75 Swinger LSX Swap
Well I'm officially pooped for the day. Got off work and decided to get asn mk uch done as possible before dinner. Soooooo I dropped the trans out of the car(replaced the filter and pan gasket yesterday). Filled the trans up with fluid today. Installed the converter. Installed the flexible dipstick, added the spacer to line it up with the flywheel, then decided to get it all back in the car for the final time(I hope).
This is essentially what that $22 sleeve looks like on the converter before reinstalling everything in the car.
Here you can see that little spacer installed completely. Lining up the th 400 converter to the ls1 flexplate.
Here I removed the factory th 400 fittings for the coolant lines because I ordered the adapter fittings from ict billet that thread in and allow me to run -6an lines to it.
Here is kinda where both dipsticks will be. I'll need a spacer on the trans one to keep it off the firewall a little bit for clearance and the oil dipstick there incase the turbo later needs to have the down pipe run back that way.
