I'm Awesome
Does anyone have a link or writeup experience or whatever about my specific year of truck? Doing some research before I get into this but there's just a lot to go through and I'd like to confirm.
1997 chevrolet k1500 silverado 4x4 extended cab.
So far I have
0411 pcm, not yet tuned
Lextech spreadsheet
Efan from a mark viii
5.3 engine
4l80e transmission from a 97 2500.
Planning on using dirty dingo mounts, have not yet purchased.
Questions
What driveshafts will work or what will I need to modify?
Do I need a different radiator/tranny cooler?
Which radiator hoses will work or will I have to modify any specific hoses?
All lines and electronics will work from the old 4l60e transmission to the new 4l80e of the same year truck?
Will stock manifolds work?
Will the stock exhaust from the truck to the manifolds work or will I need to modify? Currently has a super 44 system on it with stock cats. Wouldn't mind making some changes anyway but would prefer to wait.
Once my truck is assembled and the pcm is tuned by blackbear or similar, will it run and drive the way it is? Or will I have to have it towed to have the crankshaft position censor to be calibrated?
Current Fuel pump will work with the new engine?
Stock replacement torque converter or upgrade? Will be towing some in the future but not much.
Camaro temp sensor?
Thanks in advance.
