Well, the Colorado is much newer truck and comes with newer style e40 computer where the 2001 Silverado came with the older 411 style computer. From what I am finding so far, the Colorado's ECM interacts with the body control module (BCM) a lot different than the older trucks. Even the ignition is routed through the BCM. I am not worried about the mechanical aspect but more worried about the electrical part of it!

Why not just buy a Colorado that came from the factory with the 5.3?

coming from someone who is in the middle of a s10 swap. if there is one available with a v8 from the factory, spend a little more and get the one with a factory v8. makes life 10x easier AND cheaper in the end. everything will look right, and function like factory.
