1990 C1500 LQ9 Swap Questions, From Alaska.

[Big-Sexy907]

Thanks for the reply, I'm still debating on which motor to purchase for the swap... The more I look at it the older DBC setup looks easier, but the DBW seem more through of an installation.

I'm curious, and hopefully you fellas can make some suggestions...

In Alaska we have plentiful access to 4wd transmissions usually leaving 2wd's hard to find. Can anyone reccomend a shop that can sell me a transmission that would mate well with a 6.0 out of a 2002 Chevrolet 1500? The more I think about it I'd like something a little more current than what's presently in the truck.

Im not sure the dbw tb is going to jive with the 700r4. I dont think youll have anyway to actuate the tv linkage. I have an lq9 in a 90 454ss, as others said, 1" setback mounts are what you need. I sold off all the DBW stuff and picked up a cable harness/pcm/tb. I reworked the stock harness and the pcm in is in the dash in the stock location. You are going to want the f-body pan. I have the gmpp hot rod/h3 pan and its still about an inch below the crossmember.
