2003 4.3v6 6.0 swap

[jtaliaferro]

I got a great deal on a LQ9 6.0 from a Escalade, though the guy was selling for a friend and was not sure of the year. He said it was Drive By Wire though. It was close so i will be able to inspect before I pay the guy.

I have a few questions.

The project : 2003 1500chevy 4.3v6 i presume 4L60E

The donor: Escalade 200X LQ9 6.0 drop out with all acc, ecm and wiring

1. Will my 4L60E bolt to the LQ9? I know it wont last but I will rebuild if it a direct bolt on.

2. This is a complete drop out with wiring and ecm, What problems do you think I will run into with this swap? Or will this be a direct replacement, other than motor mounts , wiring, ecm and various hardware?

3. When I do get to inspect the motor what casting number will I be looking for to verify his claims of this motor being an LQ9?
