LMFAO ok dude, I myself and another member on here just passed our motor swaps within a few weeks of eachother. Yes it can be done and let me tell you its not that hard. The hardest part is exactly what soco said....getting the pressure sensor in the tank if the donor tank doesnt fit. the only other hard part is maybe the exhaust but on a truck with all the space... ha minor adjustments and your good to go. hell my truck is a 4/6 and it still clears the ground.Originally Posted by Ydtrack
Sounds like you just want it to all fall in place for you and just cant handle anything more than that. but As long as you have some basic fabbing skills and arent afraid of a little challenge, a truck motor swap in cali is honestly a piece of cake as long as you do your research before hand. which it sure looks like soco did since hes almost there. just because you talked to one ref and it scared YOU, doesnt mean you should be trying to shy people away from it. ESPECIALLY since you never even tried going through the process. and if anything, its WELL worth the small hoops to jump through as you will benefit from MORE power with the same and most likely better MPG aaaand, its cleaner for the environment!! talk about a win win.
so soco, keep on truckin (pun intended) on your project. glad to see i helped you get this far. sounds like you got it all figured out. dont listen to negative comments about cali swaps as most people dont know what they are talking about. and i hope your taking pics along they way. im really interested in seeing how your tank turned out. i think i might pull mine in the future and do it that way also. you should do a thread about it also. you might cover material that i left out in my thread to help anyone interested in doing it out. keep us updated!!
