    04 Sierra 5.3 to 6.0. What all do I need?

    Title says it all. Want to go either lq9 or lq4. Would also like to go with the l80e later on. Might look at doing both at the same time. What all do I need to be looking to buy?

    So should it just be pretty much plug and play other than getting a tune?

    Few minor wiring changes for the trans, other than that it should all plug and play if you get the same style motor, like drive by wire/or cable.

    he said later on he wants to go with an 80 so for now no wiring changes..the only thing u might have to change depending on the year of the motor would be the oil pressure sending unit
