    10 over your ls1 and use a 4" crank with correct pistons


    4.8/5.3 is same setup. take to 3.9 bore and use 4" crank
    2002 Lightning - GT headed 5.5Litre w/ Twin 7665s
    2002 Silverado - 427Lsx w/ Twin gt4202s
    2010 Silverado crewcab Z71 - 5.3litre w/ procharger
    2000 Wrangler - 5.3litre with some stance
    2014 Xsport- 3.5 Eco boost
    412 Motorsports

    it ain't that I'm too big to listen to the rumors, It's just that I'm too damn big to pay attention to 'em..That's the difference

    I can pretty much fab anything so I'm not worried bout Anything, I'm just at a learning curve on the new tech stuff.lol My brain needs an upload with this LS stuff. I also have a 55 Chevy Sedan that has a 454 thats fuel injected, but I always wanted an LS1 in that baby. So I will cut my teeth on the 5.3 and maybe the Sedan will get that LS1 after all. I love the way that engine looks.

    Also does any GM drive by wire pedal work or do I have to look for a certain year? Thats the only think I did not get with the engine

    Well the throttle body is drive by wire and the pcm is 12200411 and upon a search they said its 2001-2002. Lets just call it a 2002 engine. It does not matter its going in a 50 plus year old truck.lol

    Wrong...

    Quik is right about this. DBW was on the Tahoes and Burbs with traction control. My 2001 C3 has it too, but it is a 6.0L.

    To the OP, if you want to go with a cable throttle body, I am looking for one of the 00-02 DBW throttle bodies.

    To stay with the DBW, you will need to have the TAC module from a pre-03 truck too. The 03-up one will not interchange.
