@@gentrysgarage7956 Hello Sir, Good Afternoon. The Walton website sates there’s bolt in crossmember doesn’t fit for the L460E transmission? But I seen yours is a bolt in with an L460E, question is did you have to fabricate the mounts transmission? Thank you for your videos

[@gentrysgarage7956]

I believe mine came with two different types of crossmembers, which are just a little flat bolt in pieces. One of them was a straight and the other one was offset to either of the front or rear, depending on which direction you put it in. The one I used is the straight one. If you do need to make one, they are pretty simple. The main part of the crossmember is the most important part.

Hey, did you have to relocate the hood latch when you moved the radiator forward ?

[@gentrysgarage7956]

I didn’t relocate the hood latch, I just trimmed the hood

[@shawntomtom]

Hey, awesome work.
I had a question about the radiator and the fan set up did you go with. And did you move it forward for clearance..?
Thank you.

[@gentrysgarage7956]

I went with a radiator from wizard cooling, and I had to move it forward, build a bracket and trim the inside of the hood

[@GeorgeMartinez-vn5uy]

Very nice
I need help
Did you have to cut the tunnel or firewall
Which headers did you use
Thanks

[@gentrysgarage7956]

I had to cut this supports that stick forward off the firewall, but not the firewall and did not have to cut the tunnel. The headers are just cheap stainless steel. LS swap headers off of Amazon. They are the ones with the van clamps, and the extensions for the O2 sensor.

Thanks
I am gonna start my ls swap soon, can you provide info on trans crossmember

I doing the exact same build right now. I have some questions on the radiator. What hoses did you use?
Did you have to cut your hood support?
Is your intake 4 inch? I don't have much room so im hoping the intake i ordered fits.

[@gentrysgarage7956]

I did have to cut the hood, don’t remember what hoses and I believe a 4” intake

How much fab work was needed to ls swap it

[@gentrysgarage7956]

Thanks for watching! It wasn’t a lot of fab work. Some bracing on the fire wall had to be removed, radiator moved, motor mount and transmission cross member kit.

[@nocomobilegaming8764]

Do you have part numbers for the kits?

I’ll see if I can find them for you
