S10 SWAP -Got my 2001 5.3 & 4L60E home but want NV3500. Are these parts what I need ?
Hello. New member here.
I finally brought home my 5.3 & 4L60E in my minivan since my truck's 4-banger is knocking. The 2nd 4L60 is for my buddy. The motor is a 2001 Silverado 5.3 with 52,000 miles and a 2002 Tahoe 4L60E with 55,000 miles for $800 ($650+$150). The motor is complete pull out with all accessories, wire harness and the computer. I did take the valve cover off to make sure there was no sludge before buying the motor. I was even able to turn the ignition on and crank the motor and verify the miles (digital). I could not start the motor since it has no gas thank. Originally I was thinking about going the carb route with 700R4 but with fuel injection setup will make a nice daily driver.
Since my S10 is already a 5-Speed, I am thinking about keeping it 5-speed. I can get a NV3500 out of a 2003 S10/4.3V6 for $150.
Will the NV3500 out of 4.3/S10 going to be ok with a stock 5.3?
