1983 C10 LWB 6.2 diesel to LQ4 6.0L and 4l80e swap

[Box]

I've been lurking for a while, but after lots of fighting with the 6.2 diesel in my '83 C10, I decided that it's time for a 6.0 swap.

Last weekend I picked up an '05 LQ4 and 4l80e with 75k miles on it and complete with computer and harness. It came from a local body shop that bought the truck to swap the sheet metal onto a rolled 4x4. The body shop pulled a few pieces to replace what was damaged on the other truck, including the accessory drive system, the throttle body, the coils and a couple spark plug wires, and 1 injector. I'm not too bothered about the tb, as I was considering switching to a cable throttle body, but I'll need to replace the rest.

The truck has dual tanks, which I'd like to keep, a th350 tranny, and does not have A/C, which should make the swap a little easier.

I've been wanting do do a LS swap for years now, and I guess it's time!
