Ye olde TBI has served me faithfully (albeit slowly)for the past 14 years... but its time to go.

Committed...
You never know how dirty your engine compatrment really is until you pull the engine...

I wanted as close to a factory look as possible, so I used a 96 and up ABS/PCM bracket, which means the washer bottle has to be moved. So I snagged a 96-up washer bottle, the aux battery tray, and charcoal canister bracket. The battery is being moved to the left side to facilitate the air box and plumbing.

Which necessitated new battery cables (2awg positive and 1/0awg negative)

Waiting on my cam, and torque converter, which are both about a week out at this point...

Looks like a nice start on a sweet looking ride. Good luck and keep us posted on your progress.

Nice truck! I've done the same swap in my k1500 1994 L33 4l65E 4X4 and they make a lot more power than my old 350 TBI.

Do you keep it drive by wire?

Also be careful with the Russel quick connect fitting... I would recommend to use the new design.

Seems like you have things well under control. Great pics and ride. Can't wait to see the finished product.

You are off to a good start.

Nice burban I am just wrapping up a 5.3 4l60 swap in my 93 sierra got to hear it run last week.

nice burb! nice project you got going!

Greetings, fellow Lowbrow weirdo. Excellent engine choice!

After you are done with your swap post up some pictures of your Triumph.

Thanks. In my waiting period, I have done a lot of reading on this site, and others, so hopefully there aren't any mysteries.

Thanks. I don't own a Triumph, I do have a custom Harley though, and work on custom bikes often.

I decided it would be best finalize converting this harness to standalone when the engine is in the truck. That way I know where everything will land.
