A quick hello to all as im fairly new to the forum. Ive been prowling the threads for awhile tho with hopes to learn a thing or two before i go asking questions that have been asked a million times before. Which i think i have. Ive taken an abrupt turn from the Volkswagen scene stretched poked and slammed with 30 mpg. to well..

1996 5.0 4l60 4wd 225k and counting
Im picking up a 2000 LS1, Ill need to source items such as intake manifold TB fuel rail and accessories. Ill know for sure what hes used off it once i pick it up hopefully this weekend.
I located a 99 silverado 5.3 semi-locally to source parts from, nearly the entire truck is intact from what im told. i dont know if its 4wd yet.
After reading some of the threads of wiring DIY ive almost talked myself into not even attempting and just going with a harness from nelson.
For my purposes going with the truck intake and accessories will likely suit me better.
Im not building a truck for the strip or pit, just endlessly upgrading. SAS maybe later.
I had a couple questions i didnt clearly find answers to, Any issues with obd2 inspection if done with a nelson harness?
What adapter/spacer is it that i need to use to mate the obs 4l60 to the ls1...
along the same topic what torque converter
Can i use the ecu from that 99 silverado? Anything else key to grab from such a donor
Ive hardly scratched the surface of my questions, and steps into the swap. If i can piece it all together in my head, and then on the floor, the swap should be straight forward if all preperation goes well. id like to knock it out with downtime as a 4 day weekend with some spare hands and brewskies.
