Here is what I did and this was 100,000 miles ago and no issues at all.

I purchased a used 2005 6.0 with 10,000 miles from a 2500 and swapped into my 1994 Z-71.

6.0 is easier (IMO) because it...

Here is my 2 cents. If you want to keep the factory compressor, I recommend the bracket kit from Novak. They have the best looking... in my opinion... machine work in their brackets. This puts the...

:chevy:I swapped out my totally lame 350 with TBI to an unbelievable 6.0 LSx engine and would do it again a thousand times over.

I am still not 100% complete but it is now a daily driver. I went...

Is there anything we can do to help set up?

Do you want any help before 12 noon or are the doors open at noon.

Hey Allen,

Count me in. I also need you to check into my crank relearn code. My Tech II doesn't get past the last step. I can wait for dyno day if you want or schedule a time to come by. Let...

That is correct- Their kit will only work on the Vortec truck engine brackets.... but it does work.

Here is my .02 cents. I purchased a bracket kit from a "guy" on the internet who makes them for others, like us. The bracket instructions were for an engine with corvette/camaro brackets. The...

Thanks DaveIROC,

My appointment with Nelson is this afternoon... I will have them look into this. I am on my 3rd tank of fuel since install and am very happy.

1st= 9 mpg
2nd=13 mpg
3rd=...

Question,

It seems that a little throttle pedal movement causes a lot of throttle plate movement on my throttle body. I have been driving my truck for about 2 weeks and am realizing that I really...

Hi L&M,

Be very careful with the advice you receive about your '94 4L60E transmission and ECM controls. All late model computers expect to see a PWM TC. The difference between a PWM TC and...

OK- How about this...

Does anyone have some cool pictures of an overlay they put on the '92-'94 gauge cluster? I really want to do something to upgrade my gauges... I have seen stainless and...

I have a 4L60E that was rebuilt 2 years ago with a Stage II package. Claims to be good to 420 ft/lb Tq. This truck will scratch 2nd gear without trying. If you really get on it, it will bark 2nd,...

I know, but I have already purchased new shrouds to go with my hugeass 34" radiator. I also bought the correct fan blade that goes on OBS trucks that have the new 30mm threaded fan clutch. What I...

Hey classy 79,

Alt hookup was two wires, brown wire to volt gauge and bat terminal lug on alt gets hooked to battery- very easy. My A/C conversion kit... not so much... The A/C compressor...

here is my engine all ready to kill a hemi or two
2643
I still need to solve the problem of a large air intake and the fan that would hit it if installed

These connectors are Swagelok...

hi stepside,

I just did this swap on a 1994 Z-71. Here are my suggestions,,,

Buy a 5.3 or 6.0 Vortec engine from a salvage yard and get the wiring harness, computer, accelerator pedaland...

I have the stock gauge cluster with a tach that red lines at 4k and the speedo only reads to 80 MPH.

I looks like my cluster is large enough to swap out the old cluster with a newer style with...

No, for whatever reason I used the filter/regulator fora 2003 4 cyl S10. I looked at my plumbing and it will just be a matter of flipping the filter around and shortening the return line.

I am using the factory tach. There is a white wire coming from the new computer that is the tach signal. The 680 ohm resistor is needed to make the PCM's signal work with the OBS tach. Without the...

It works,

After wiring in the correct resistor my tach is alive, thanks for helping with this... The tach is my favorite gauge and is the only one that didn't work from the start. I found out...

I have installed my AC Delco GF 845 fuel filter and regulator in my 1994 Z-71. It has one 3/8 fitting on one end, and two fittings on the other end, a 5/16 fitting in the middle and a 3/8 fitting...

OK-

I realized that the first resistor I tried had different colored bands and was not the required 680 ohm resistor needed. I picked up the correct 680 ohm resistor and will wire it up this...

Hey guys,

I hooked up my tach wire from the 2005 PCM to the white coil wire from the existing harness. I have not had any luck getting the tach to work. Yesterday, I tried the "pull up resistor"...

Hey 93 ecss,

Here is my 2cents worth... Nelson did my harness for the stock 4L60E in my '94 Z-71. there is a lot of info out there saying the 1996 and older trannys won't work with the LS...

Hi flattopwill,

I have the a/c brackets that allow the stock compressor to mount up high on the block. A longer belt was needed to run the additional compressor. The belt I am using doesn't have...
