4.3 to 02 ls1 swap

say i have a nbs truck and just picked up a 02 ls1 with 4l60 tranny wiring harness, and computer.... what all else do i need to put it in the truck..... yes i have read dlh's thread but that dosnt cover putting a car engine in....


i am trying to amass a list of parts that i need to get



1) Truck oil pan
2)truck pickup tube
3) might get a truck wiring harness and wire it to the ls1 injectors.... (opinions?)



engine is complete down to the cats and T/A engine mounts. tranny is also complete... please reply..



ps: i have been on the forums for awhile now so ive done a good deal of research on pt.net ...etc... but cant find anyone who has done this swap in a nbs truck... that started with a 4.3 any and all help is appreciated.


thanks guys!

I don't think you will need any of those things. Use the f-body parts.

Check out duckysbht's swap. He went from the 4.3 to 5.3.

ya but he already had the truck stuff on it..... what i need to know is what do i need to get to help my new engine be more compatable with my truck...... ie frame mounts....etc

yeah the 5.3 swap is much simpler swap than the ls1....and on the mounts you should be able to run 4.8/5.3 engine mounts and frame mounts.

you could also just use the truck style acceesories, and intake manifold so you wont have to modify anything.
