    1996 gmc suburban K1500

    I am looking into doing the lq9 or lq4 swap. with a 4l80e trans. I have a laundry list of parts and was wondering if anyone could fill in the parts i am missing or any recommended suppliers.

    -lq9 or lq4 motor(block, heads, intake manifold, fuel rail and fuel injectors)
    -4l80e trans
    -tranfer case should bolt up correct? i have the push button selector for 4wd.
    -Any recommended rear ends.
    -Painless wiring harness or DIY
    -Motor Mounts? I dont know who exactly

    There is alot of information on this forum but to defend myself from getting flamed i am just trying to make sure i do this right. My truck is also lifted if that makes a difference

    You can buy the engine from here.
    High Perfomance Salvage, inc.
    They come complete.
    I can't help you with the transfer case, some one will though.
    The factory rear end should hold up no problem.
    You can do the harness yourself or get one from here: Nelson Performance - Products
    Get your PCM tuned by them also.
    Here is where I got mine.

    The transfer will bolt up but only if you have a 4l80 or a 5 speed already. Otherwise you will have to change the input shaft in your transfer case.
