I've been reading and researching the swap and have found the different adapter plates and flex plates and things of that nature. One of my questions i have is in reguard to my 4L60E thats in my truck. Can I use this transmission with the ls pcm? I'd really like to use it since it was just rebuilt about 10,000 miles ago. can someone pleas shed a little light on what all is involed in a ls swap in a 4x4 truck?

Thanks,

From what I have found out in getting ready for my swap, your tranny will work just fine but you will need to swap the internal tranny harness and the tranny plug for a 95 and newer harness. Someone correct me if I'm wrong

Thanks but I got the tranny situation resolved. I ended up getting the entire engine and tranny from a 2001 chevy truck. Now I have a few more questions can someone please help me with. Does the powersteering lines have the same ends as the OEM p/s pump for the truck? And also how are people integrating the a/c lines? I'm looking to keep the stock accessory configuration on the 5's so i'm gonna make any frame mods I have to mae everything fit. I have a buddy that gonna help me with all the wiring problems and I bought a tuner to take care of all the vats and claibration needs. Anyone have any suggestions or recommendations as to what I may run into doing this swap?

Thanks,

I think you can just use the PS lines that are on your 95 now. Seems like they are the same, not 100% on that though.
For the AC, go to docsblocks.com , they have the adapters you need to go to a standard -8 and -10 set up. There are 2 types of compressors for 2001, so pay attention to the fittings. Some have 1 block for both lines and some have 1 for each.
Use your shifter cable and bracket from your 95.

The PS lines from the 02 Camaro fit right into mine.

Ok thanks I'll give those a try, my buddy told me that if we couldn't find any that would there's a couple places around town that can make me a set. Looks like I'm going to go ahead and freshen up the tranny since I have to disasseble it to change the output shaft anyway I found everything I need to reuild it for $250 convertor included. Also I have the interior with all the wiring for a 98 truck how difficult would it be to make the 98 gauges work with the 5.3? My wiring for the 93 was butchered when I bought it.
