    Sure haven't, I'm slowly catching up on things, lol, I'll be releasing some new products very soon.

    What do you need on the PCM? I have a nice hotrod tune for $250, turns off everything you don't need, fixes gear/tire calibration, etc.
    Or, there's always the performance tune.

    thanks,

    basically the story i get from shops in austin is that it wont work without bout 15k dollars in labor. I ask them why and they say that since know 1 else has attempted it they wouldnt know what to do with ecm. It will physically fit in the engine bay, because the ext has the same size which comes with the 5.3. So if you can make it work, and please tell me you can, let me know, ill be giving parish a run for his money.

    most states require that if you repower your vehicle it has to have an engine from a vehicle of equal or newer manufacture date. If you drop a 6L into the TB then you need the harness and PCM from the donor vehicle. Sounds like a cool proposition.

    If you're serious about it, get the 6.0L engine, a truck harness and engine mounts and go for it. There's no reason why it won't fit. I'm sure all the gauges and sensors will work just fine.
    Since there is a 6.0L in it, we can use the pcm to run it.

    I say do it, that would be one nice ride!

    finally some hope. I can get everything i need for a really good price, thanks to me dreaming of this project since i bought my trailblazer in late 01 and scouring the net. Do you know of any good engine installers near the austin area that wont charge me an arm and a leg. Its not really feasable for me to do it myself, due to lack of equipment and space. Ill be doin the boost part seperatly on my own time and another shop that just deals in piping for my lil t76 i got stored away.
