This is a more difficult swap than you'd think when it come's to keeping the manual. I'm not sure why but 03redwt had a lot of trouble with his computer on this swap. I think it had to do with the trans tables in the tune, but I can't recall.
Other than that it's the cookie cutter v6 to v8 swap you'll read about in the stickies here.
Just get a trans segment swap to manual and you will be fine. Same thing that is done for people putting 5.3s in front of TH350 and TH400.Quote:
