THANK YOU FOR THIS!!
I'm getting ready to do the same swap in my 08 Silverado. I bought a complete 2010 Silv 5.3 / 6L80e trans complete with ECM, harness and fuse panel.
You've answered some very critical questions concerning using the original ECM. Thanks again and looking forward to your follow up vids.
Bob B, Boynton Beach, FL
did u make the 6 speed work ?
Thank you for the video and insight
Good info. I am going to subscribe to keep up to what you are doing
Thanks for the info, nice video
good tip on the safety switch. I’m fortunate enough to have a complete running donor truck for my swap so I’ll be sure to reuse as many parts as i can
Thank u . a lot of great information
Smart move getting the extra 4L60 since stock ones are well designed but weakly built.
I cut a sheet of plywood as a radiator protector when working in that area. Another ancient trick I learned is to cut a 6x6 to drop in on top of the fender LIPS then screw a 4x4 block to each end as a standoff. That lets you lie across the engine bay comfortably.
I don't live in the Rust Belt so I don't hesitate to pull the front clip (anti-seize all the bolts before reinstall) for convenience but that seems to bother some people. Impacts (especially a 90-degree one, self and bro use the Harbor Freight style because the head is so thin when we harvest LS from salvage) speed the process greatly. Self and bro bring a tool kit with only the stuff we need for LS pulls and they damn near fly out of the engine bays.
Thanks for the info!
Thankkkk you for the damn gas lines connectors been trying to find someone to help me on this my ls build is almost done
THANK YOU ... This is good to know.
Extremely glad I found this video, looking into swapping my V6 to a V8 into my 08 Sierra 1500 WT.
Did you ever do it ?
I have 2001 v6 Silverado regular cab I’m throw a 460hp 5.3 build engine create by Jeggs soon.
@@gera__5.036 how much does it cost?
@@gera__5.036did you finish it yet ?
@@Lsx.jxan1 I didn’t end up getting the crate engine instead I put that money down for a new car. but I still swap it to a stock 5.3 with full bolt ons. And the difference in power coming from a v6 to a fbo 5.3 with a good tune is amazing the truck runs way better really strong kinda feels like it’s always in sport mode it just ready to go a soon as you touch the gas pedal. The engine cost me 500$ and another 500$ to install it plus 1000$ on some other small things I needed to buy to complete the swap I spend around 2000$ with engine and installment and parts.
I have an 02 Silverdildo with a blown 4.3, This video was helpful, Thank you
I have a 2003 Sierra with a 4.3 with 137k on it. Very disappointed. It's knocking BAD. Lower end knock. Gonna get a LS. Give me some tips.
Silverdildo
Can you explain more about the fuel fittings and hose please ?
My 5.3 drive by wire out of an 2003 yukon xl is a gen 3.... but I converted to drive by cable going into a gbody 87 montecarlo ss
What about torque converter?? I recently swapped my s10 and am about ready to do the first drive. I’m using the factory 4.3 trans with torque converter
Nice video bro the fuel line you showing from summit do they come with blue fittings at the end
Thinking about doing the swap on my truck, how does cruise control work?
I have a question, I have a dbw engine, the truck is dbc. Can I just replace the throttle body on the engine to dbc to make it work? Or do I need to replace the whole intake?? Obviously I would have to get a harness as well.
How do you install the electric gas pedal, switching from v6 to v8 5.3, I know how to do it from the inside just where do you hook it up from
I have a lq9 with all the accessories is Drive by wire but my truck is drive by cable i already have the gas pedal and the tac module from same suv i want to know what else do i need for a engine swap on a 99 chevy silverado
What would you recommend for me to help my performance on my 1998 Chevy Silverado C1500 5.7 v8 all i done to it was put a cold air intake in it
With the aftermarket intake manifolds does the stock V8 harness work, cuz the stock intake has sensors on top, where are they on the aftermarket intakes ?
I got a complete 5.3 from 03 Tahoe will the harness work with my 2006 Silverado v6 wt ?
I have a 2005 chevy Silverado and I wanted to ask if I get a intake from that same year of a v8, it has a electrical throttle body even though i have cable one right now. What do I need to get to do the electrical throttle body conversion
Do you know if i can use 2002 engine harness in my 2005 silverado? V6 swap
I did a LS swap on my 2000 Chevy installed a 5.3 I have good spark and fuel pressure it cranks but doesn’t turn on or run now I’m lost
Can u give us a description of the whole build a list and parts from what store I wanna do a 6.0 build
I am planning to swap my 2005 chevy Silverado 4.3 with a 5.3 out of a 2002 chevy Silverado, Am I still able to use my stock fuse box with the new 5.3L harness ?
So a 2001 5.3 will bolt to my 2001 blazer 4l60? I want to swap my 4.3.
Have a doner suburban
How will the crank case work will it just fit in the v6 ?
If you swap the v6 to a v8 do you have to change the transmission
Does any happend to the axles if I rip it hard after I swap the engine or do I need more stronger ger axles for the v8?
Can I put a drive by cable engine into a drive by wire "cat eye" truck I found a cheap v6 rcsb truck 2005 and I have a 2002 doner truck that has a healthy 5.3 engine
I have a 5.3 lm7 off a 2004 Silverado is that a gen3
how much wiring did you have to mess with
Would it be the same if it has a manual transmission rather than a automatic?
I got a 06 gmc serria 1500 with 4.3 want to swap and so u say i can hook v8 rite to the stock 4l60e trans?
Anyone know what that blue single pin plug by fusebox is my truck doesnt have it but other 4.3 and 5.3 have it
I am doing a 4.3 to a 5.3 swap in my 2004 GMC sierra. The 4.3 is a drive by cable and the 5.3 is a drive by wire. Was your throttle body on the new engine driven by wire or cable?
Mine was cable but if you can find throttle body that is drive by cable it will bolt on, just make sure you pay attention to where your EVAP system is
Did I hear that correctly? He said $800 for the engine trans ect??? Or $800 for the Accessory’s?? If so the motor ect is there more available lol????
Why did you do for torque converter
Fuel pumps the same?
What about A/c lines
It's not glued i it's dielectric grease & gm has a Problume with it becoming like a glue from heat its like it turns to tree sap i had 1 come out no problume but after a hot Az day i put it together a day later it was stuck.
2003 Chevy 1500 4.3 V6 You wouldn't happen to know what could be causing a misfire on my truck would you? Misfire only happens when I first crank my truck up and drive(no misfire at idle), it'll misfire while driving until you drive it for about 15 minutes then the misfire goes away. Let it sit overnight drive the next day, same thing happens again. Repetitive cycle.
What if you had a donor car with everything on it
Did anyone have problems mounting tranny?
whats the name of that intake or part number
What intake is that?
Gen 3 have both dbw and dbc
What’s dbw and dbc
@@EduardoFlores-qy1wq drive by wire and drive by cable. He said gen 3 is dbc only which is not true at all.
What year is this truck?
would love to see your powersteering lines
I used the power steering pump from the v8 they bolt right up
Manual transmission?
Man has anyone kept the mechanical fans ?
I’m trying to swap my 4.2 1999 1500 Silverado to a 5.3l but I don’t know where to get the adapter to get for the fuel lines
Summit racing
Link is in the description and in my new video
how much is a swap??
Friend, if you decide to place catalyc converters to v8 6.0L without them. What would you have to be mindful of or update?
02 sensors is all I can think about. Nothing really happens down there except the 02 sensors making sure everything working right
Do the fuel lines connect on the back of the Holley fuel rails?
No I put a link in the description for what you need as far as the connectors you need
Are the 3 first links everything I need for the fuel lines?
What if you have 6l80e transmission instead 4l60e , is it still compatible?
Yes
Do you have to change fuel pump from 4.3 to 5.3 swap. If it’s stock?
No, it’s the same one for both
Can you help me with my ls swap?
Having trouble with my motor mounts I just pulled my 4.3 and I have a 5.3 that I’m putting in it but the driver side motor mount isn’t fitting like it should and im lost what I need to do
Cut it
You have to get the either torsion or coil frame motor mount
@@gatesofsera whats the diffrence??
I’m looking to ls swap my 2017 Silverado 4.3 for a bigger engine, still not sure which way to go any suggestions would be great
A 6.2 would be cool but pricey. A 5.3 is really all you need but if you can afford it I’d go with the 6.2
@@FullTiltProformance how much is a 6.2 please respond
Will this work with a 2004 4.3 v6 manual transmission silverado?
Yes
Does it matter if the frame mounts are out of a 2wd or 4x4 or are they both the same
They are different
Nice work... i currently own a 2005 GMC Sierra SCSB with the vortec 4.3L v6 and plan on doing the same conversion, but going with the Gen1 V8(350) instead. Im sure i'll have a much easier time along with parts to install the new engine, v8 radiator, reprogramed ECM, it'll be a daily driver, nothing fancy. The engine i have in mind is the GM crate 350 advertised 323hp/444tq, then i'll have to get an v8 MFI intake, the spider injector system along and other electrical connections, keeping it drive by cable and definately have the 4L60E rebuilt to handle the extra power. Sorry, but no LS swap for me
So how is the gen 1 swap going? I want to replace my 4.3 with a 350 gen 1 in my 2000 sierra , but having trouble finding what motor mounts to use. I'd appreciate any info on that swap.
@@billytarpon9871 Sorry to dissapoint, it wasnt going to be done anytime soon, i still have to do the research and planning before anything starts.
Where can i get those braided fuel lines ? R urs rated up to 250 psi ? Thx in advance bro
I got them all from summit, only place I order things from anymore if they have it
@@FullTiltProformance what part number were the fuel lines adapter?
Where did you get the engine from?
I have a 2006 Tahoe I pulled the engine out of . Can I use that engine to put in a 2009 Silverado?? Has the v6 in it now.
06 transmission with adapting motor mounts for that swap
@@MarcosAntonio-cw5kf thanks bro
Nooooo the 2006 is a gen 3 motor. You need a gen IV. Reluctor wheels and knock sensors are different
@@MarcosAntonio-cw5kf wtf no. The bolt pattern stays the same between generations and displacement smh and the mounts are the same
On the gas lines do I cut all 3? Or just the send an return lines?
Just feed and return sorry for the late response
@@FullTiltProformance what do you mean by cut like git rid of it entirely and replace it or can you actually just cut and change the end
is this the same process for a 2014? i am planning to do a 4.3 to 6.2
Yoooo, I got a 2014 Chevy 2wd should I put a v8 or can I even put a v8?
I’m sure it’s possible but I honestly don’t know. That would be an Direct injection motor so I’m sure it’s a little different but definitely possible
@@rickygonzalez8206 anything is possible but I have never done that swap so I couldn’t tell you what all you will need
Where can I order the frame mounts??
Umm..the Junkyard
Should i go rebuilt 6.0 or buy a used one and rebuild it?
I know engine rebuilds are months out atleast in my area, but ordering a new long block and transferring all accessories over wouldn’t be too difficult since you already got the same stuff there
What about the 5spd manual to a t56 6spd?
Asking the wrong person my man lol I wish I could help but I’d be lying if I said I knew😂
i have an 02 4.3 trying to do the 4.8 swap what year do i get the motor ?
i ended up getting an 06 4.8 wondering if it would make my mechanics life a little harder ?
Does it fire right up with the V8 computer? Or did you have to get the V6 flashed?
It will fire but immediately turn off until you delete VATS
@@FullTiltProformance awesome thanks 🙏🏽
@@gonzolsx8752 can delete vats without a tuner. Look on YT
@@liveandletlive2894 i didn’t know but thanks I’ll look into it
@@liveandletlive2894 no
Cant use the ECU you got with the donor motor
Yes but you have to disable VATS
@@jordanmccormack8682 you familiar with ls swaps?
You can use the ECU I’m using it right now. You just have to disable VATS like he said
@@FullTiltProformance anything else it need done?
Can this swap also work on the 2007 new body style chevy silverado 2wd short bed ?
Did you have to change the fuel pump ?
No you don’t
Fucking send it nationnnnnn
Do you have to change the dash harness or fuse box under the hood?
Mines gonna be drive by wire
You running a stock 4L60 with a 6.0?😳
Yep. 60s will hold up better than you think. Have a buddy making 600hp and 708tq on a 60 with a shift kit and converter
How is it holding up
I would just take the computer from the car that the new motor came in
Heat gun in junkyard?🤷🤔
Man I was quoted $14,000 for an engine swap on my 1999 shorted. WTF!!!!
Lol you could do it for under 2k your self it’s an easy swap
Yeah man I'm gonna have to try.
Title should be I spent too much on intake, so kept manual fan.
Ac
Where do I find an engine for $800? Lol
Facebook marketplace, some junkyards sell good motors with trans
@Justin Rodriguez what is tlc
@Justin Rodriguez I was thinking of getting a re manufactured one but they are like $3000
@Justin Rodriguez 😂
I just bought a 454 with 60k for 300 , going to pull it out of the motor home . they're out there. , keep looking, hope you find what you are looking for.
Not accurate on all aspects.
@@dannyhunley5394 the very first thing is that he says Gen3 is DBC and Gen 4 is DBW. Well for instance the Gen 3 LQ4 6.0 ran from 99 to 2007. It was DBC until they went DBW in 2003. There are more examples as the video moves forward.
@@dannyhunley5394 V6 and V8 radiators are identical capacity. The difference being that the V8 radiator has a port for provisions for the throttle body bypass. Which is needed in cold climates to keep it from freezing.
@@dannyhunley5394 99 to 2004 Gen 3 V8s were a return style fuel system and the regulator was on the fuel rail. 2005 to 2007 were returnless and the regulator was in the tank. Same fuel pump for V6 and V8
@@dannyhunley5394 no problem. I did the swap on my 2007 V6 5 speed. I used a 2003 LQ4. All V6 were DWC.
Eric I have a 2006 v6 truck and a 2002 5.3 to install. Will the dash harness need to be changed and will I need a different throttle cabe as well? I have the harness ecm all accessories from the 2002 tahoe and I'm curious what will need to be swapped in order for it to work properly
