my Tahoe conversion is getting a little shape these days. The engine is still in a container somewhere on the Atlantic... but I have enough other parts to
play with.
For those who forgot:I am converting a 1997 2dr 4wd tahoe to an '07 drive train, engine 5.3 "LMG" with flex fuel and AFM.
Here are some pics of the work..
The Tahoe has already lost it's old engine and tranny
work will involve a cleanup , degreasing and rustproofing the engine bay, frame rails
parts of the '07 harness laid out
most of the '97 parts are in bins and were stored for a while..
'97 radiator with '07 Avalanche e fans
they fit without problems.. only two small U-shaped brackets to the plastic side tanks and we are ready to go.. best thing, the fans cost only 150bucks....
'07 cluster and DIC switch
engine bay fuseboy lower part with connectors
BCM and engine fuse box
as I am working together with PSwired ( who has similar problems ...)
we are able to push each other through the little " I don't know's.."
Ok... Friday and Saturday passed by and I could not start with the wiring. I was busy with cleaning the engine bay and frame rails. There is nothing worse as removing rust with a wirebrush on the grinder and a piece to clean like a Tahoe's frame..
My back hurts, my finger hurt but the work is done... My son Marvin gave me a hand when it was painting time..( I told him the Tahoe will be his when he is old enough..that was a good motivation..)
engine bay painted
The fuse box on the driver side needs the antilock controller to be moved slightly downward. I had to modify it's bracket and it seems all will fit in almost the original positions.... we will see when the paint is dry.

I hope the sunday brings some time for the wiring...
I checked for space to get the '07 battery tray and underhood fusebox in the proper location. The battery tray on the passenger side could be fittet with some additional brackets.
