Hi,
I am getting ready to drop a L9H or L96 (with VVT) into a 98 ext 5.7 2wd. Most of the hardware is well developed, with lot's of good hints on this site.
I am mainly concerned about integrating the donor ECM (PCM) into the 98....
-do I eliminate the 98 ECM?
-can the 98 OBDII port be spliced into the donor ECM?
-will the 98 gauges still work on the donor ECM?
-will the 98 comp mirror work? How does one activate the ambiant temperature (off topic)
-I expect the donor ECM will wire into the donor trans?
Does the rad need upgrading? to the donor rad with fans.....easy fit in the 98???
Is the L96 2wd trans output shaft the same as the 98?
Just a start....
So far I have a nice low-mileage truck with a bad motor, 20" Escy wheels, and 2/4 lowering kit, and 9.5" rearend.
To drive daily and tow a travel trailer...
Any and all comments welcome!!
A Newby
