Figured I would start a new tread instead of hijacking someone elses.
Mine would be swapping into a 96.
Would the truck be fly by wire with the 6.2?
Best bet right now is to get an old donor 5.3 or something and take all the needed parts off that, and then just buy the bare bones 6.2 from GM Performance?
What would it take to hook up an old NVG 3500 to that?
Good start, but I am sure I will have more questions.

I'd start the search with salvage yards. If you have time to wait, that will be the best way to locate one for the least amount of money. I believe the L92s are only in the 2007 vehicles, could be wrong though. I'd get the complete engine/trans/harness/pcm and as much of the rest of the truck that they'd throw in with it. If you know people in the salvage or insurance business they can let you know if one is going to auction. You can buy the whole truck and then sell off the remains after you strip out what you want.
I am not in a big hurry. My truck is still running, so I have some time to look around. I figure the 2007's will start to show up in the junk yards soon but the price I would guess is going to be high for awhile. It is nice to be on the fore front of a new swap, but it is also nice to have everything already done and just follow the gang.
It is just nice to have something different than everyone else.
PIONEER DAN!
Needs to be DEEP POCKETS DAN I think.
well, it's the price you'll pay to be first haha. You could go 6.0 and stay safe and be like everyone else, that's what I did. I think the 6.0 swap is nice because people have at least done a few of them and it's not like your gonna have a question no one knows the answer to. There's a little information about the 6.0 swaps out there to help you but it's not so common that its gonna bore people when seeing what your doing. My rcsb is one of a handful I've ever read of especially 4.3 to 6.0 swapped to 6.0 so I wouldn't say my swap is common yet.
Well mine is a 96 rcsb 5 speed 5.7 with a powerdyne SC. The guys at the dealership love it.....just because it is different.
But an OBS 6.2 L with a T56 and 4WD in it would be really cool...and different.

My brother has an 85 Sierra Classic 2wd, that would be a nice truck with a nice Gen III motor in it.
check ebay i think i actually saw a couple on there for sale with videos of them actually running... might want to take a look at that

the swap that ISNT in an obs is a 408+ w/the l92 heads intake package with a monster cam. only 3-4 to my knowledge (may not be as deep of a pool as some peoples, but i doubt there are many setups like that) that setup with the right cam would rev very nicely while still having the displacement needed for good power, im also guess ing that with some research into the cam you could flatten out the tq curve very nicely;)
FYI guys, there's an L92 on Schram Autos' ebay store.

07 yukon denalis come with a 380 horse version of the 6.2l and the caddilac escalades come with a 403 horse version. What the difference is between the two i dont know. Probably just tuning. I know that GM is working on a supercharged 6.2 called the ls9 and is supposed to make 600hp or so. If you could get the 6.2 in your truck and then later after the ls9 comes out you could find you a supercharger and put it on there since it will have a compatable intake for the l92 heads. I would go with a 6l85e though versus the t-56 cause i would tear the crap out of a t56 in a 4x4 and also your shifter will be almost under the seat. Things you might want to think about.
I am planning the L92 swap as well but with an LSx doner engine. 418 stroker L92 shortblock. ;) Anywho how are you planning on putting the 4wd transfer case on a T56? As far as I know it cant be done, or without some serious mickey mouse modding...
Would have to build your own adapter for the t-case. They are doing it over on the syclone site.
But yes, probably a lot of mickey mouse involved.
