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

[@obfuscated3090]

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.

@@Juanito6.0 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.

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.
