OK, like many others I decided to do the Vortec v-8 Swap... I thought about it for a while and was set on a 1HZ but th eavaiability was just not there.
Right now I am busy getting all the bit stogether so I can get the project started. Thanks to many for answering all of my questions, I appreciate it!
I have gotten the engine (2004 5.3 Vortec with ~ 30k miles), with the wiring harness and computer already done by fuel injection specialties, bought a brand new h55f from cruiserparts, bunch of odds and ends from cdan, clutch and headers from Advance Adapters, Marks adapter (that fits the gen III lock) and still have more random bits to go.
Leading up to this I have done the OME suspension kit (heavy heavy), rebuilt the rear axle with new brakes and bearings, and still need to do the front axle and brakes. Hopefully I can knock that out soon before starting the swap.
Anyways, I am getting excited and just wanted to share the joy. I'll try to make a little thread out of it if you guys are interested..
Got some engine and wiring pics below... if i can figure out how to include them..
later,
Marco
