    5.3L drive by wire to drive by cable

    Does anyone know what I would have to do to change a drive by wire to a drive by cable.

    i'm no expert, but i think you'll need the DBC throttle body (and possibly matching intake - i can't remember if they're different or not), a DBC gas pedal, and tune
    00 FRC - just top end, exhaust, and a hot-air intake

    just swap long blocks and use your existing intake...they are pretty much the same..
