Welcome to the Michigan FBody Association website.
The Michigan FBody Association is a centralized website for FBody enthusiasts to discuss what's going on in the Michigan area. MiFbody.com was created to allow for an easy one-stop place to find out what's going on in Michigan as far as FBody events, to find out what clubs are available in your immediate area, and for an easy place to post classifieds for items you want to sell! Our goal was to create a more close-knit community of FBody enthusiasts in the state of Michigan, and to bring Camaro and Firebird enthusiasts alike together for some amazing FBody events!
The most important thing to know about the Michigan FBody Association is that we are NOT a club! The Michigan FBody Association is open to everyone, and is a community. Thus, we will have get togethers, casual cruises, events, and such like that, but this is not an exclusive club and it's 100% free to join this site! So what are you waiting for? Register now!

I'm finishing up my swap right now and trying to make sure I've got all the parts I'll need. does anyone know if I'm using the stock (LT1) radiator and a stock LS/fbody water pump, what radiator hoses will i need to use? I've got stock LT ones now but if i need something else i want to get it now!
thanks guys.

Probably wont be an off the shelf part. Ive heard the LT1 radiators are better but you might need some fancy flexible braided stainless or something generic like that to make it work.
You need the ls hoses. The radiator inlet/outlets are the same as the lt. But the engines are where the differences are if any. My 94 had a steam line in the upper hose. The ls has this fitting on the radiator.
How are you going to block off the heater hose conection in the lt radiator?
Yeah, one of the heater hoses on that setup goes to the radiator. On the ls, they both go to the heater core. Lt steam line goes to a fitting on the upper radiator hose, on the ls there is a fitting on the radiator. While the lt radiator is a whole 1/8th of an inch thicker, the ls radiator makes for a cleaner install in a swap, if you have both to chose from. In my opinion. The lt will work easy enough, especially if the heater hose is already blocked off

we got it in with he LT rad and LS lines today but it's overheating. fans aren't kicking on at all, i think that might need to be turned on in my tune because it's a truck ECU.

Yes, trucks didn't get e-fans until 2007 I believe
Edit: HP tuners can enable the fans in the truck OS, not sure if it can update the PCM to the 00-02 Fbody OS. I'll have to look that up real quick and if it would take additional credits.
