Welcome
welcome to the site
here's what i think i need for my 6.0 lq4 swap
Fuel system: ( i think i'm good here)
1987 20 gal tank from tbi truck (for internal baffles)
EP 381 fuel pump
99' vette fp reg/filter
the three dorman fuel lines
mounts: (good here too)
1" setback adapter plates
stock type sbc chevy 3 bolt mounts
engine:
a lq4 engine complete with harness, puter (vats taken out) accesories etc.
cooling:
99' silverado upper heater hose
reuse stock 4 core rad.
money:
anyone have any extra?
engine to trans:
not too sure on this-- help?
will i need a flywheel spacer and a different flywheel to mate to the existing th350?
up to 2001 doesnt need an adapter for the transmission because of a longer crankshaft snout. Later models need an extension and bolts or a Hughes converter extension. Put a 60 or 80e in there for better economy on the highway.
Welcome.
You and me both.Quote:
