Firing Up The Nova’s LS 5.3 In The Garage

Got the novas drivetrain back to the garage along with a bunch of parts for it. We decided set up everything on the garage floor before it all heads back to the nova to get installed.
If anyone is attempting a fuel injected LS swap I recommend you look into the following companies:
www.painlessperformance.com
-for all of your ECU and wiring needs
www.tanksinc.com
-for anything to do with fuel delivery
www.hptuners.com
-for tuning your factory GM pcm
If you would like to purchase any of my engines feel free to comment or send me a message

I used a 5 gal transparent bucket, cut the top to insert the whole pump assembly, that way you can see if something is going on with it!

[@torreypines3074]

That is a complete detailed badass setup for troubleshooting!
By the way if there is no atf in the trans you just burned up the pump -

[@travisblack417]

There is ATF in the trans

Tanks got it

[@joncpeters]

Love it! Would you show how to hook up the harness to run an LS on the stand? What wires where etc.

[@travisblack417]

I’m going to be cutting down a factory harness and making a swap harness out of it from scratch. I can show what you’re talking about then.

[@nathanhunt1987]

You told me to msg you about my ls lq4 tbss setup to identify what injectors I need

[@travisblack417]

Can you send me a message on IG? I’ll
Need you to send me a photo of your rail. I’m 99% what your issue is

[@tandjperformancesouthflorida]

Lifter ticking?

[@travisblack417]

Nope it sounded perfect in person. The motor is super quiet so you can hear pretty much everything

[@tandjperformancesouthflorida]
