[foxnutz]

Has anyone done the 80e swap on a 2007+ non-classic truck?

I will be trying one before too long. I'll be sure to document it if I'm successful.

Well I got it from the salvage yard it is the same one that is in my 06 crew cab 1/2 ton I just assumed that all 03 and on up 1/2 ton 2wd were the same I know the earlier 99 and up were different!

well i just blew my 60e for the 7th time in my 96 gmc. a buddy told me he had a 80e i could have that's in good condition. so since everybody seems to be doing this swap in newer models what would be needed to do it for my 96? the 80e's from a 97 1 ton with a 454 but my buddy sold the motor and harness
