hey guys, I am swaping a 5.3L from my "work truck" that had 198,000mi and was about to give up.. I got another 5,3L from a 2003 Suburban 4wd.. the first of my questions, I removed the intake from my new engine to clean it up and one of the head ports had some water on it.. what can cause the water in the head port?? the engine was sitting for a couple of months.. the second question is, i will replace the tranny also, is the torque converter the same as mine? my truck is the same year as the burban.. I will put also a G-80 that came out of the suburban.. I know they are not good, but is just to improve traction off road..
btw, I got engine, tranny and G80 for $300 from a good friend of mine..
