1998 Tahoe 2DR 5.3 swap

[smkur50]

The tranny is from a 05 5.3 4x4 truck. Want to keep it more plug n play if you know what I mean. Plus I never seem to have a problem finding later model 4L60Es and don't have to change anything for it to mate up to the new LS motor if that makes sense.

In that case it should bolt right up to the original transfer case out of your Tahoe.

Well good to hear, Im thinking it should fit but tryting to get as much ordered and together before I pull the engine.

So picked up the 113k mile 6.0..gave it a little bath before undressing her a little.



got my dirty dingo mounts in the mail today. Going to take off all the not so necessary stuff for the engine and start figuring out some wiring. Didn't realy want drive by wire but got to go back and pull the pedal assembly from the truck and other little tidbit stuff.

Mickey, I had alot of questions for my swap so I wanted to be as informative as I could for the next guy..kind of a pass it on type deal. All the info is here but got to jump through several threads to find everything. Hoping to make it pretty cut and dry for a 1998 swap person.

[Mickeymotormount]

I hear ya. If you have any questions, just ask. I did something similar and had lots of questions myself.

[smkur50]

Oh Ill have questions for sure..lol

Fuel line stuff came. Got to wait til I drop in the engine before I cut them to length.

in re gurads to the lpp headers: i have them on my truck and i love them i live in WI where winters are very harsh and salt eats everything alive and these headers have stood up to the test as to where my buddies silvy with pacesetter armor coating are already starting to rust after one winter.
