Hello!
Please help me out!!
I have a 1998 GMC extended cab C1500 truck (2wd) that had the 5.7l.
I just had the transmission rebuilt with HD components. It was the stock transmission I don’t know if it’s a 4l60 or 4l60E.
I am FINALLY ready (funds wise) to do an LS swap.
When all is said and done i would love nothing more than to plug and play. That being said i have NO idea how or what i need to make that happen.
So I beg you please help me out and point me in the right direction.
A) which ls engine do I buy? I’ve read that a drive by cable model is ideal vs the drive by wire, so do you I get a crate 5.3 or 6.0 that is drive by cable? Or get a low mileage junkyard engine...since i have tranny redbuilt
Next, For me the limiting reagent to this swap will be what is most compatible with the vehicle….wiring wise
Thus I’m starting this venture with you guys!!
Tell me what you think, as experts in the field ,
1) what would be easiest plug and play year/s LS motor? Do I get a dbc or dbw engine and harness? Etc.
2) Do I need just the engine, or also, the pcm and ecm and do you provide these with your engines? Do you need my factory boxes for tuning?
Again I’m really looking at starting from this for my project and it will determine the road I go.
I genuinely appreciate you help and patience in reading this, and I look forward to hearing from you
Best regards,
Leo
