will i have to get a differnt wiring harness? since my truck is a 5spd and the donor truck is auto?
anyone know?
it should bolt up you might need a different driveshaft though... Call or email FLT and ask them to be sure... Finish Line Transmissions | Performance Transmissions | Torque Converters | Transmission Parts | Transmission Service
ok im wondering about the plugs on the new wiring harness tho not the engine bolting to the trans
Maybe Redheartbeat ''gregg'' or one of the other obs guys can chime in... I wanna know too for my other truck.
I figure ill have to get a flex plate or maybe use the one i have on the 4.3
Wait... I got confused by your name Thrasher88... I thought you were swapping a v8 into an 88. If I were you, And I planed on having a powerful engine, I would get at least a built 4l60e or 4l65e if not a 4l80e. yeah its auto, but these transmission shift quick, hard, and are consistent at the track. and the ls1 or the 5.3 would bolt right up and if you find a complete engine with harness. your swap would be easy. FLT can hook ya up with a kick ass trans... Duckysbht has the 4l65e and I rode in his truck and it kicks ass even more so with 7psi of boost.
no im swapin a 5.3 in 05 that has a 4.3 and 5spd now.
right...Quote:
