Where was this video when I started my build 🤦🏻‍♂️ I’m the dummy that bought a car intake and a new truck water pump and learned the hard way . Great video 🤠🤘🏻

I made a couple trip to the parts store myself.

A 2010 camaro 6.2 water pump also works for the same set up. I used one on a 1999 5.3 truck engine. I used a dirty dingo relocation kit. Smaller bell on water pump, lines up perfectly to truck accessories drive.

Any questions you have I’ll be here, broski!

I have an 06 Canyon Z85 RWD 5-Speed. I have a Gen 3 LM4 on a E40 PCM. I kept the truck Setup but went with a TBSS Intake because it's just better.

The tbss is pretty much the best stock intake you can run with as long as you have the clearance. Great choice! That was my original choice before I found this one second hand

Thanks for painting the engine a color that stands out, if you're going to take the time to build something awesome, make it stand out

Thank you! I had the same thought. Also wanted to give it somewhat of an "original" look. I'd paint the intake too but I think LS intakes don't look all that great painted. So this will do

Great video brother!✌️

Hopefully soon! Still needing a few more parts before I can put it in the car for the last time. Really want to hear it run before the end of the year.

Uhm also need longer bolts to mount Camaro belt tensioner to your new Camaro water pump. The truck one is about 3/4” too short at least the ones on my 05 LQ9 were.

I don’t remember on mine specifically to be honest if I had to change the bolts. If I did then I probably found something around the garage or took a trip to the parts store. Luckily it’s an easy thing to take care of. Definitely something to note though! Thank you!

How many inches lower is the car intake? Does it have much of a change in the torque curve does it do? I'm putting a L92 into a jet boat and want the engine cover as small as possible . . .

@mylifesucks327

I believe the car intake is right around 5 inches shorter. But I can’t confirm that for sure as I’ve only read that, never measured myself. You’d have to dig a bit into forums to double check on that, unfortunately. But I can tell you that if I had a truck intake I’m not so sure it would even clear. As far as torque curve goes, that’d be having to compare some kinda dyno sheet. But a usually the idea is the truck Intake will make the torque sooner and have less high end. Car intake will be the opposite. Could make the same torque but will be at a higher rpm.

im at this cross road and can't decide on which belt or routing to go with? What did you find out. At the end of the video you show both ways to route the belt.

@mylifesucks327

Either or is neither wrong or right. It’s whichever you decide you like best really. I’ll likely be going with the other option to have a shorter belt. But it would work just the same either way!

What year is the power steering pump? I’m having nothing but issues with my bracket set up cant get the pulley to line up with the crank pulley

@mylifesucks327

As far as I know it’s a 2006 engine. That’s just going off what the junkyard told me when I had it delivered to my house. That and the engine was originally a drive by wire set up. But I don’t know of the power steering being any different throughout those years. Is the water pump aligning with the crank pulley when using the spacers?

I did have to do some trimming on the hood for it to clear but nothing too crazy

What size belt is that

F body alt bracket, f body PS bracket, and an f body crank pulley.... looks WAY cleaner and doesnt have a huge chunk of aluminum on the front of the motor.

Car accessories will always be cleaner. But truck engine swapped projects are much more common, this is just an alternative.
