Drfftn The only issue you will come up on is the alternator, what harness do you plan on using?

Trying to avoid spending 500$ on the ctsv acc. Would I be able to purchase the ctsv alternator to make it work? I won't be running ac if that helps at all. I wanted to use a wiring harness from WS, but I called the company a week or 2 or ago and explained that I was swapping a LS3 w/ TR6060. I got a reply from Yuri stating that yall don't make a harness at all. Seems like my only choice is to go through Chasebays as they offer the tr6060 trans choice.

Thanks bro for the info. I sold all the Gen 5 Camaro Acc and purchased the CTSV kit. Plan on just moving the reservoir over to the strut tower something similar to the Speed Academy LS3 swap. Purchased a wiring harness from Speartech |

The accessories stick out pretty far on the camaro set up. I just sold everything I had and purchased the CTSV set up, way more space now. |

To those running a wiring specialties wiring harness and a CTS-V drive accessory kit (Part Number: 809-19299070 ), the alternator is a 3 wire setup that does not work with the f body style alternator plug. to get around this you can order a CTS-V 04-06 ctsv alternator (ACDelco 25766345) that runs a f body style regulator with the single wire plug (2 wire setup). This started charging right away for me after putting a 470ohm 1/2 watt resister in line right after the alternator plug on the harness. I tried the self exciting alternator from mechman with no success and would not recommend doing this after attempting. You can have them put in a fbody style regulator in your alternator you got with the drive accessory kit like a friend of mine did but for some reason Mechman will not do it for me and wont email me back when I offered to pay for it to be done after their modifications not working. But I would not recommend them as they have horrible customer service.

Mgw for the GTO works perfectly fine and one of my favorite shifters on the market. Or you could swap out the GTO Shifter Offset Lever for the Fbody one and you are set to use whatever Fbody shifter.....and then my answer would be MGW for tbe Fbody

Yup the GTO Shifters are like $150-200 more than the Fbody. I got lucky and swapped out the offset lever with someone but if you needed to buy one here you go.

Its not a part thats "supposed" to be used on a GTO. Kind of how when you put 265/35r18 tires on the rear of an S14 most sites say "not applicable to your vehicle." Used this part on mine then installed an Fbody MGW Shifter....like a gem.

how is everybody venting the heads/crank case? I'm putting a catch can on now and redoing my system hoping to not have my dipstick popping up anymore. I'm seeing lots of different ways to set everything up, and its hard to tell what's best.

I guess it depends on what motor you have and if it's boosted.

How high are you revving when it pops out? Did the ls6 valley cover you installed help at all? Your rings might be going out the door if its allowing that much pressure by the rings in N/a form.

doesn't pop under normal around town driving, only while drifting and hitting rev limit. valley cover may have helped some, idk, but the dipstick still popped. 100k miles on lq9. had good compression when I installed it.

Do a leak down test, then you can see if air is getting past the rings and the % that is lost. Open your oil cap and if air is whistling from there it is your rings.

Do you guys think maybe some people will start possibly swapping hemi crate engine into s chassis now, since a 392 or even 345 s13 would be awesome, but the dimensions might not fit so well but it'd be like an ls3 erod kit sort of. Thoughts on this?
