I'm doing a 2002 5.3 into a 94 s10. 2002 oil pressure sending unit worked with the 94 gauge just fine. For coolant temp I used a 3 wire temp sensor from a 98 5.7 Camaro. 2 wires go to the PCM and the third goes to the gauge. Works great and seems accurate against what the PCM sees. Tach works fine. LS PCM put out a 4 cylinder tach signal which works well with the 94 S10 which had a 2.2 in it. Have not hooked up the check engine light yet and have not hooked up the speedometer yet. Have the data link connector wired in temporarily under the hood but I want to move it into the cab. Got my swap to move under its own power for the first time today. Have a pretty good miss on 7 and 8. Think it nay be plugged up injectors. Long term fuel trims are through the roof and am getting spark according to my spark checker. Have not done a compression test yet either

Hey Shady! Great to hear you got your swap fired up and moving! Hope the misfire issue is something simple. Sounds like you're on the right track. Keep us posted, and thanks for tuning in!

Good video, always great content from you two, thanks. The only comment I have is that I also use the stock oil pump bypass with the spout so when you are deluged with them I could use a half dozen myself but you must be careful using a bypass like the one from ICT especially with the port located in the center of the cover. If you deep thread a fitting into it the fitting can restrict the oil flow through it. I have a friend that did a stock 5.3 swap on a '78 Chevy Monza, he called me because no matter what he did he couldn't get over 30psi of oil pressure in his motor. I found a Ebay adaptor on the bypass port for a mechanical gauge and the fitting was screwed in so far the threads were blocking the oil flow. He was relieved to say the least and I replaced it with one of the stock ones, plenty of pressure after that. As for the engine mounts I also use the clamshells now. On my first swap on my 1968 Chevy C10 I used the stock mounts with the ICT plates but I moved the V8 frame perches to the furthest set of holes back and used the last set of holes back on the adaptors, it left me just enough room for the trans dipstick. Because I chopped and lowered my C10 when I mounted the frame perches I used a piece of 1" square stock under the perch on top of the frame and because the frame crossmember is right at 45* a 1.5" thick piece of 2" bar stock under the bottom bolt set the stock oil pan just flush with the bottom of the frame crossmember, the 1" spacing works great. I'm sure there prettier ways to do it but with me form follows function, only mod I had to do was to roll 16" of the pinch weld at the top of the trans tunnel for bellhousing clearance, everything else fit like a glove. The trans angle was fine but because I'm OCD I did shim it up 1/4", with the trailing arm suspension the pinion angle doesn't really change so you have more latitude on the total angle when you don't have to allow for spring wrap. That stock deep pan is nice, like a poor man's dry sump especially during heavy cornering at rpm.

Thanks Ken! That would be nerve wracking to build an engine and then have something like that affect the oil pressure. I'm sure he was pulling his hair out over that one.

Ohmy! (Oh My!) Another great tutorial! I like to use the three pin temperature sensor for the Camaro. (Can’t remember what year Camaro.) But, it provides a signal for the ECM and the gauge (separately). I didn’t know that the Ohm’s were different on the LS… might be why I see a different temp on the gauge than what I see in my tuning software. (Only a couple of degrees, but I’ve lived with it). Using the three pin also made it easier for wiring since I didn’t have to route wires over the top of the block. Again, GREAT video! I love y’all’s intros! This one takes me back to my favorite decade! Rob

Thanks Rob. I might use that sender on the next one we build for ourselves. It seems like every time we do the factory gauges that there is most times a little difference in the temp and I can deal with that no problem. If I know 220 is really 200, all is good. Once you get used to that gauge sitting where it should, everything is fine. That was just the way it was back then. Thanks for watching. We appreciate it. Jerry

FYI, my 1998 Firebird/Camaro LS1 had the 3 wire sensor, if you need to order one in the future. (Of course the gauge output from that sensor does absolutely *no* good for my swap project, which ended up needing a VDO sender to be installed on the opposite head... I'm thinking to swap to a 2 wire sensor for the computer alone, just because they're so much cheaper.)

I've done this on my 1986 Suburban . I had no issue tapping the coolant hole 3/8"NPT. #317 heads, 6.0 puts sender directly into the coolant.

In the video you mentioned using the oil cap from the donor engine and threading a 1/4 inch NPT for the sending unit.

Hello, great video as usual! My question is if you use stock or after market gauges with there own sending unit do you have to still have to run the LS sending units to PCM?

Hello RN. It all depends on what you are using for a computer and how it is programmed. You will definitely need a coolant temperature signal sent to you ECM.

Got another question! Are you using pure copper wire? Or is it Copper Clad Aluminum (CCA)? Many many suppliers are selling CCA because it’s cheaper to produce. From my experience with CCA, it has a very short life, especially in wet environments. You know how aluminum oxidizes and gets that white, very non-conductive buildup? Imagine a whole harness you built for a dune buggy and routed in very tight quarters having to be redone in 6 months. It’s no-bueno!! I know you’re careful Jerry, but watch out!! Chinesium alloys are out there, and they creep into projects at night when we’re sleeping…. On that happy thought, I want to wish you and your families a very Merry Christmas, and a great New Year!
