Newbie... 92 k1500 help

[cecil07]

Hey there guys... I'm pretty new on here... And I need some help..

My 92 k1500 with 360kms just pretty much died... motor oil is running out the rear inspection cover and it has a horrible knock when starting cold..... Trucks engine and tranny are both in same shape...

I have a 2006 6.0l i was going to put in a 72 vette.. but ended up selling vette...(too far gone)...

Heres what I have for the 6.0l... ls1 intake with cable throttlebody, fbody powersteering pump, fbody alt bracket. I have headers from a fbody and no exhaust manifolds. I have a 6.0l ring gear and a 5.3 ring gear...

I Have no wiring or ecm, no water pump.....

The truck is going to need a new or different tranny...

i read some where that a 96-97 4l60e should work with computer?... will it bolt right to my existing transfer case?...

Anyone have any issues or experience running the fbody acc in a k1500?..

When I buy a ecm is there any special programming or type that is best to run the 4l60e?..

I have used the search button... just need a clear answer... I would hate to buy another tbi and put back in... they are junk...

Hey welcome to the show. Since you mainly have f-body accessories get an f-body water pump. You can get a Nelson Performance harness and also buy a pcm from them that comes with a custom tune. The transfer case should bolt up but you will need the output shaft replaced. There should be no issues running the f-body accessories on your truck, I haven't had any. Good luck and keep us posted. Also look in the LS conversion section, at the top are the stickies, lots of good info there.

maybe I should just keep a 700r4?...i looked on nelson performance and seen no pricing ...

[Chevy-Art]

It would be better if you call them. And the 700r4 will not last long behind the 6.0. Plus having to make a place to attach the kickdown (tv) cable.

i see... is there a particular transfercase i could get that would work better with the newer 4l60?...most of the time they come with the trans..if i happen to find a low mileage one?...

[Chevy-Art]

Now that I can't help you with. I know nothing about 4x4's or transfer cases. Maybe someone else that does will chime in.

[cecil07]

I think as long as I use 93 -98 4l60e(700r4) the transfercase will not be a problem...

I live in canada... and most of my parts will have to be bought off ebay...

I picked out some mounts similar to the dirty dingos,water pump, couple sensors...etc... let me know what you guys think...

How come your not using a truck water pump?

How come your not using a truck water pump?

I had started to put the 6.0l in a 1972 corvette... but realised the vette was pretty far gone to be fixing... I had changed intake, and all other accessories over to fbody to fit in corvette...

Just wondering
