Don't want Drive by Wire

[kwkenuf]

I can verify that no harness changes are required to convert from drive by wire. Your swap is identical to mine. You can pick up a new 2002 cable operated throttle body on ebay for around $75. Used for even less.

Thanks for the info man. kwkenuf I will be having many questions for you because our swaps are the same. How do you like the engine in your truck? I have a 97 454 in my 55 Sedan and I love it. Thats what made me want to go with a modern engine in the truck also. That and I got the engine, trans, and wiring and everything for 1100 bucks from a friend of mine. This thing only had 25000 miles on it.

You guys are great I will start searching for a throttle body now. I just wanted a heads up of what to expect.

How do I like my engine swap? Fanfriggin&#39;tastic&#33; Night and day performance difference from the Gen I 350 that I pulled out... Immediate starts, great low end torque and the addition of overdrive has really changed the personality of my truck for the better. You will not be disappointed&#33; Oh, and you got a good deal on your drivetrain.... Lots of money left over for mods&#33;

damn, thats a great deal on that engine and tranny. i payed 1700 for my 6.0(engine, pcm, harness) now im looking for a tranny to go behind it. i think if i found all that for 1100 i might have passed on the 6.0, maybe.
