My swap.

[dlh2006]

The only acc. that you can use from the 4.3 is the power steering pump and alt.

As for as the tranny a level 4 will do!

Would it be overkill to get the FLT 65e for a cammed/boltons/tuned 5.3 with an LSD and gears? Im planning on going turboed in the later part of the year.

I would think an FLT would be overkill for just NA, but if you are going boosted, then it would be a good idea. Depends on your timing of installing everything.

you can never go overkill on the transmission IMO. its better to spend a little more now than to spend it all over again later. im going with the level 5 whenever mine pops again.

Well I think hopefully before summer or in the beginning I am going to have the money for all the parts I need for the swap; and I was "planning" on being boosted by the end of next year.

I wonder if I should just look at a shift kit until I get closer to going boosted, and then do the FLT. I already have the 1-2 vette servo, would a 3-4 servo be recommend along with a shift kit? I have right at 80k on the transmission, and no problems so far. (knock on wood)

just call jerry&#39;s transmission and ull get a good deal from a local guy. nothing against flt, just think Jerry would be better since he&#39;s local and can tell you exactly what u&#39;d need.

[ducky]

Thanks for the input on transmissions, but I&#39;m just gonna stick with FLT. Judging from what has been said about him, I am sure he is a great transmission builder that offers reasonable deals, but it just isnt the route I am looking to go down.

Come look at the TWO transmissions I have waiting to get shipped to FLT as cores in exchange for a Level 4. Oh yeah... I have an N/A cammed/stalled/tuned (very mildly) 5.3L powertrain. Stock transmissions will not, I repeat, WILL NOT hold up to punishment forever. When it&#39;s time, it&#39;ll break. Have friends that have gone through 2 - 5 rebuilds with cammed 5.3s and 6.0s.

I have access to a cammed 6.0, FLT drivetrain RCSB (Z71). After loads and LOADS of 4wd burnouts, the dang Level 5 just won&#39;t break... though it&#39;s broken a few G80s & ripped apart stock gears. I was a believer in stock components til my second one bit the dust. Gonna fix this the right way now... FLT it is&#33;

What size cam are you running and why is your truck tuned mildly? Were you looking for more of a daily driver? Do you have an LSD in the rear?

I was just basing my input on the cash situation.

If you got it, then do it.

Ducky -this will might make you sick...
