07 5.3 to LQ9..emissions equipment..

[JeRM82]

I have an 07 2wd with a 5.3 in it, and was poking around looking for info on an LQ9 swap. I saw a bunch of things on how everything bolts up with the swap....but what about the emissions equipment, and the fuel systems...are they the same? Can you basically just bolt everything up and go, swapping all of the emissions equipment over from a Vortec Max truck...or is there more to it?

Craig.....you KNOW that we would probrably land up getting too s-faced to do anything besides put an air filter in it! I am undecided with what to do man....radix..LQ9...or a JUG....an LQ9 would be fun if all of the emissions equipment bolted right up...

Freakin sailors!



We can do an LQ9 swap and no one will know the difference!

It really helps to have something like HP Tuners to turn off those annoying emissions codes.

Its an 07 classic.....I found a few 07 LQ9's on car-part.com....i keep seeing the "other" vortec max motors on there too....probrably wont be worth it to swap anything other than an LQ9 into it.....if I did swap in the LQ9 it would have to be a california smog legal wap....so all of the emisions equipment would have to be hooked up and in use.....I would LOVE to put an LQ9 into it, but it would have to have shortie JBA's on it instead of long tubes because of the california smog nazi's....dont really know if it would do the motor swap any justice if it just had shorties on it....LOL....what do you guys think?

if you have a new body style 07 chevy you should go with the l76 aluminum or the ly6 iron block 6.0 or a 6.2, the lq9 has a 24 reluctor wheel and the gen 4 motors have a 36 reluctor timing wheel.
