well thats what im going to do after all,finally made up my mind.i just need to know if theres anything else i need for this swap besides tune?ill be staying with 4l60e,wish i could do the 6spd auto,but the 6.2 is already expensive as it is.
stay tuned!! LS3 FTW...here lightning boys :D no more picking on me lol
good luck with that motor. hopefully the market for those comes around and out shines their brothers
Oh It Will Out Shine Like Nothing,400+hp On Tap,on Top Ill Be Adding A Cam As Well.dealer wants 6500.00 for vette ls3
so all the sensors,plug ins,wiring the same?
Knock sensor need to be moved from the valley to the side of the motor....need to move the cam sensor plug to the front of the motor and switch the wires in the plug marks "A" & "C" also the LS3 is a 58x reluctor wheel so you will also need to either have a 24x put on it or i think they make a adapter for it now
thanks for the info bro,i thought my 08' was a 58x?and i think it already has the cam sensor in front.ill doulbe check anyways.
did not know yours was an 08...you should be fine on all the stuff i just posted then...my bad :DQuote:

yea ill run the 4l60,what are some of them stories bout the 6speed?
6500 is crazy for the peformance those motors offer. hell i dont even have 6500 into my 4.8 and turbo setup.Quote:

Should be very nice! You can get really close to 500 to the wheels with full bolt-ons and a cam swap with a LS3 setup... Keep us posted!
sure will guys,i just love the power of the denali,so im going to quit imagining that power in a rcsb and DO IT TO IT!!
the LS3 engine will build tremendous power right out of the box and is lighter than any LQ based engine making you instantly .1 seconds quicker just because of the weight savings. You also get a warranty with the new crate engine that you won't have with a boneyard engine. You can buy a weaker engine, build it up and make as much power as the crate LS3 but its still going to be heavier and if it breaks you'll have to pay to do it all over again.
90lbs isnt much to even consider espeically since the motor in hte vehicle is already iron. that warrenty isnt going to be worth anyting once you mod the motor so what is the real point? also if he is buying if from a boneyard there is no warrenty.Quote:

ppl brag about that motor. its 420hp crank...is it really worth that much more money?
theres no replacement for displacement lol had to say it.
haha answer is technologyQuote:

6.2 FTW! that thing is gona be a monster Zach!
...and... how can you say that a smaller motor with the same OR older technology will perform better??
were talking about performance, not cost, cause i know the LS3 costs more
Newer technology is there for a reason. GM didn't spend millions in engineering to build an inferior engine. Just because you don't think its better doesn't mean it isn't. You're comparing 10 year old technology that everyone and their brother has been working to make better vs. an engine thats only been available for two years. I'll bet in 8 years you'll be singing a different tune. :blahblah:
I do like the 6.2's but at that price you could build a budget 427 or at least a killer 408. Yes you can do Cam and valve springs and see 500hp on a ls3 but i cant justify that for the swap now if i was in the market for a vette yeah sure id save me some money over a z06 but this swap idk. Either way its you truck so do what you want
using mitch's therory
408 with technology > 6.2 with technology
not everything GM has put money into has been successful. the heads just dont have good velocity for the size of runners. that isnt new technology thats just basic theoryQuote:

There were only scant troubles with the 6L trans in a longitudinal configuration right at the onset of the early 07 GMT900. This trans is a monster and is NOT failure prone. The trouble is it is not directly swapable into a half ton that came with the old school 4L as the wiring is completely different, the TCM is internal, and the PCM's are not interchangeable.Quote:

Just do an LT1 swap.

lt1 lol speaking of lt1's my buddy with a 94z keeps asking me if you can tune it haha,,ive already told him like 10 times no
lol, sure can't, i had the tuning stuff at one time, but someone stole it lol, lent it to a magazine editor and he still hasn't returned it, been like 4 years hahah.Quote:
