mounts depend on how each truck's configured. this thread talks about which trucks need which ones.

could i zip-tie on the coils from my LS1 (square style vs the round LM7 ones) to see?
they have the same main harness connector
even updated-er update: unplugged the knock sensors & drove around. does the same thing.
spark plugs & wires look good (plugs have 20k on them since new with cam spring last year).

yeah, just search around for "NBS 4.3 swap". there's a couple huge, super-detailed threads on here & performancetrucks that spell out all you need to know, even down to part numbers. welcome & good...

welcome to the site.
GenIII to GenIV is quite an involved ordeal; good luck.
if you dig around, there are a number of write-ups that detail all the things (like reluctor differences, knock sensor...
mine bolted right up... unless you've actually got a ford engine in your truck. in that case, i can't help you.
there's also a comprehensive thread on here (and on performancetrucks.net, which is...
unfortunately, this forum ain't nowhere near as busy as it used to be...
performancetrucks.net is still really active & full of dudes with GM tuning experience.
good luck!
whoa... gotta play catch-up
Sep 2014 (200k mi) = 4.30s + TrueTrac, along with replacing the factory fuel pump
Mar-Jul 2017 (220k mi) = replaced clutch & stock trans / t-case (synchros & gears...
i never tried to put the v6 clutch on my v8 flywheel, but they are different sizes. make sure you're cognizant of whether you get a flywheel model that has the studs or not (can't remember the year...
pretty much all GM engines & transmissions will bolt together
a few cargo vans even came with 4.8 + 4L80 stock
you could put a Turbo350 behind an LS9 if you wanted...
there's plenty of threads on...
because "why not", right? :D
and it might just be easier to put another NP241 (the manual shift t-case) on there. just do the case rub kit while it's apart, if that ain't been done already (it's an upgraded ring inside that...
i'm a manual trans guy, so i could be wrong, but i'm pretty sure the Tahoes had 4L60s (with Escalades & Denalis having 4L65s behind the 6.0). 4L80s were used in cargo vans & HD trucks. that said,...
welcome, and good luck!
yeah, 2WD and 4WD frame mounts are different. gotta grab ones from a like platform.
thanks... i'll keep that in mind about 75,000mi (i.e. 10yrs) from now. haha.

a PD blower would be more suited for truck-use applications, but if he's fine with driving around with the same feel as he has now but a big punch from...
while ^^ is true, you don't necessarily have to swap all those components out. will it be optimal? no, but guys boosted 10-11:1 motors all the time. you have to keep the boost lower to keep the...
and if you can get a good deal on a TVS unit (1900 or 2300), it'd be well worth it over a 112 or 122 because it's much more efficient.
