So I am in the process of building an LQ4 6.0l block, out of my friend's 2000 Silverado 2500, for my truck. I have a couple questions that I am looking for some guidance on.
Since the truck it is going into is a 2008, I know that some of the sensors are completely different or found in alternate locations. Since this is my first major build, I wanted to see if there was a list or if anyone knew of what directly will bolt right back up, what needs to be moved, and if anything needs to be drilled and tapped.
For instance. I know the new motor has knock sensors in the valley cover, and my current engine has them in a different location. Can I use the current setup with new sensors, do I swap them for the newer sensor, or do I have to drill and tap new locations? so far, I got the block back from being tanked and bored 30 over, and new cam bearings installed. The crank has been turned and everything balanced. I'm just getting ready for assembly and want to have everything figured out in advance. Thanks!
