OBS to LSx conversion

[Blue96]

I found this thread thru a search over at gmt400.com and I must say, it has answered ALL of my questions concerning this swap. Excellent write up!!!

seriously, the 700r4 will not live even with a 4.8l unless its beefed up. www.hotrodlane.cc has adapters to make the 700 work but its gonna need help.

Really? I didn't want to hear that. I am trying to do this on the cheap. I think I am gonna swap in a NV3500; if I need to buy a 4L60E, I might as well do what I want. I've already found complete trans setups for $300.

Sorry to thread jack but in my experiences "cheap" and "engine swap" go together like ice and a blow torch...

1993 OBS Speedometer and Cruise Control wiring
I've been running around with no cruise for the longest time so I thought I'd get around to fixing it. The answer was very simple with help from GasGuzzler. Remove the white DRAC box behind the glove box and pitch it in the corner. Cut the light blue wire with black stripe. Cut the red wire with white stripe. Take a butt connector and stick the two wires in one end and crimp. Take the speedometer signal wire from the PCM and crimp it to the other end. Job done.
BTW, the cruise control cable I used is from a 1998 C1500 with a Vortech V8.

Question, I have a 04 5.3L in my 93 and its still DBW, anyone know if this would be the same for cruise on it or how would that work?
