I have a 1967 red Chevelle concours woody wagon with over 25 original options , 327 pg that I replaced with a 700r4 and a lot of other changes. I won my class at Chevellabration in 2012 I will post pics when I figure how.

Eager to see those pictures! I use Photobucket. Just copy the IMG code into your posts

I went to photobucket filled out the info and it had an arrow that said slide to prove you are human well I tried and tried and it would not move so I must not be human!

[BEN67ZL1]

I already had an account from years ago but as to how to tell you to see photos my user name is Ben67zl1 if there is something else I need to do tell me I uploaded 30 pics of wagon Ben 1967 concours wagon

When you click on the photo in Photobucket, you will see codes off to the right-hand side. One of those codes will read "IMG".

Copy and paste that code into the reply box here on this forum and when you post, the picture will show in the thread.

[KahanaReef]

Yep Copy and paste the IMG code. You can only post them one at a time. Or, a link to your album if it's not private

[BEN67ZL1]

well that is what the img said had to type itcourse that is one of the rack . Well I brought a different image, code is the same on Team Chevelle we just upload from our computer, resize so you can upload a bunch Ben

[BEN67ZL1]

it did not post img name I need help cause it isn't private but the link bit isn't working for me

[pajeff02]

Looks like not all of the IMG code is there. If you mouse over a pic, an icon that looks a bit like a gear will appear in the top right corner. Click on that and a drop down menu will appear. Select "Get media links" and another menu will appear. At the bottom will be the [IMG] code. Left click on that and it should say "Copied". Then, in your post box on here, right click wherever you want the picture to appear and select "Paste". You'll see the line of code appear and then when you post the reply the pic should appear.

That thing is sweet!

[KahanaReef]

Agreed! I haven't seen one of those is a very long time.

[Thunda]

I agree also! That is a sweet automobile!

[BEN67ZL1]

Thought I would throw in some pics of the Elcamino I sold this past summer , sign is simpler than typing it all out. Semper Fi ! Ben

[KahanaReef]

Why did you sell it?

[BEN67ZL1]

I did not need two and I already have 2 pickups but I did not have a trip vehicle where me and couple buddies could hop in and go to Carlyle or wherever. I saw the wagon and its different and my favorite year Chevelle and RED so I bought it and sold the elcamino to a bud who has wanted it for years

[KahanaReef]

Well, at least you have what you need and can make good use of and the Elcamino went to a good home

Do you already have the 5.3?

Try to get the ecm and engine harness together with it.

Things to consider -

Wire harness - if you don't get one with the block there are options but they cost $$$ Between $600-$900.
Oil pan clearance
Engine mounts - there are kits that convert classic SBC mounts to LS blocks.
Yr of the 5.3 - 04 seems to be the conversion yr, by that I mean gm went from 24x to 58x reluctor wheels. That's why I said to try to get the ecm with the engine. You can tell what the reluctor wheel is by the color of the crank sensor. Black = 24x, grey = 58x. You can get a reluctor wheel from summit and have a machine shop swap out, far cheaper then the 24x-58x convertor box that is sold.
Intake - you can keep the current intake design with fuel injection or go with a carb design manifold for a more classic look, hell they make carb design with fuel injection. Each has its pro's and cons.
How old is the block? While it's out a refreshing of the oil pump, lifters, timing chain and replace gaskets are encouraged to do. Easy to get to while on a stand vs in the car. Have the block and heads looked over by a machine shop to make sure the block and internals are in good condition. Bearings may need to be replaced.
DOD - need to decide if you want to keep it or get rid of if your block has it. Tuning and some parts swap are required = added costs.


It should fit well in the engine bay. Transmission and drive shaft will also need to be address as well. There are several adapter plates and bell housings just about for any transmission engine combo.

[pajeff02]

^^ This. I was going to mention the DOD as well. LS swaps are super common anymore so all the engineering has been done. There are a couple of good LS Swap books on the market and you can pick them up through Amazon.
