pulled the trigger... LQ4/4L80 swap (6.0 vortec)
that unassuming pic of the back of the truck is actually a video. i don't know why it didn't put the movie film borders or the white triangle over the middle of it. it's a short vid of it idling.- branndon_b

yeah man, i've really been flirting with the idea of getting a nnbs (07+) ex cop tahoe. they can be had for $10k or less, and if you do your research, and wait patiently, you can find one that hasn't been flogged on too badly. i love the nnbs tahoes, i just don't want to throw in the towel...- branndon_b

sorry for the long hiatus boys. yeah, got it running, have oil pressure, tach (which you have to get a tach module to get it to to work right), fuel level comes from somewhere other than the pcm i think, check engine light works. the only problem that i'm having is currently the temp gauge is...- branndon_b

hey paul, how's the wife doing? last time we talked you had had an accident, hope all is well. no, it's a guy named Hoyt, he's a big z-car fanatic (240, 260, 280z) and has done a few of these swaps already. he knows verret, as verret i think is still one of, if not the only guy that does PCM...- branndon_b

Been a while since last post, a few new problems
raptor... why not get a low mileage 4L80E? it bolts up, and i believe the computer can be tuned to run it, may have to have a different section of harness, as i'm not sure if the plugs are the same. i'm sure you could find one in a junkyard for probably $500-$700, and they're fairly bulletproof...- branndon_b

Recommended upgrades for S/C'd 5.7
if you just take lots of pictures and label your lines and wires and stuff, it's really not that bad, just time consuming like you said. it's more important to take your time with gasket and seal prep so you don't have leaks later. you could probably pull your motor and tranny out without much...- branndon_b

Recommended upgrades for S/C'd 5.7
unless you're planning on going into the motor with some more meat, you might wanna consider just getting a long block from a parts house with a warranty, and just play dumb if you tear it up before the warranty is up. you could pull all your s/c stuff off before you try to make a claim. just a...- branndon_b

windshield problem to fix or not
yeah, that can be a nasty place to get rust, the problem is that once it can get behind the windshield, it can rust all the way across and you'll never know it. i had a spot of rust above my windshield as well, and i had it fixed like you're talking about doing. mine didn't start with a...- branndon_b

getting wrapped up on my harness, if you follow the how-tos on the lt1swap.com site, it'll walk you through the process. i still have some wires that i'm not for certain about, mainly concerning the a/c controls. i'm weighing my options on either trying to either solder like 10 @ 20-22 ga...- branndon_b

looks like i'm gonna try my hand at making a standalone harness. if you go to http://www.lt1swap.com/ there is a ridiculous amount of info on the site concerning the subject. http://www.lt1swap.com/2000harness.htm crazy how with a couple of relays and some solder you can make your own 3 or 4...- branndon_b

going to carb. need HELP!!!!
the carb fixes the bottleneck issue of power with the crappy spider injectors. unless you go to a marine intake with up-sizable injectors to dial up more fuel, you're pretty much maxed out on how much power you can make once you max out your spider injectors. however, there are issues that...- branndon_b
