I'm investigating an LS swap into my 2000 Tahoe Z71, which is the last of the vortec 5.7 OBS, and I have some basic questions. I'm considering any '01-'02 LQ4 DBC, or '03-'04 Express Van LQ4 as these are still DBC. I may consider a 5.3 but for now i'm looking for a 6.0.
I've searched & browsed but haven't seen clear specifics:
-the '01-'02 or the '03-'04 DBC examples above will correctly control my stock 4L60E? I may have to request torque management changes w/ a reprogram. (yes, I know my stock trans will need a rebuild upgrade w/ more powerful LS)
-instead, if I get a full engine & trans out of a 4x4, will that LS 4x4 4L60E bolt up to my stock transfer case? I have the autotrack deal, which I have no intention of changing
-do I need to stick to the 411 computer, if retaining my original trans, or will the '03-04 6.0 express van computers work? I am unsure if these are 411's.
rough plan:
DBC 6.0L w/ computer & harness
repin LS & Vortec harnesses to work together. maintain gauges & ABS.
6.0L cast iron manifolds
Lextech AC/alt brackets
stock 4L60E & transfer case
appropriate engine mounts to keep 'stock location'
home fab exhaust
Thanks
