Dennis it runs like it needs to get away from the world. I just need to sanitize the wiring as far as the engine bay. How's your truck coming?

Re: started a 5.3l/4l60e swap this weekend
Very nice swap! I want to change the 5.7 in my son's truck to ls when it gets too tired to drive anymore. Just a couple of questions. I assume you re-pinned the harness yourself? Did you use a diagram? What about your pcm? how did you "unlock" it or did you have it reprogrammed at somewhere like Wait for me performance? thanks

I did the harness using a few diagrams. I sent the pcm out to Brendan at lt1swaps.com

Re: started a 5.3l/4l60e swap this weekend
finally got the truck to the dyno and put the supercharger on and tuned it so well that it smashed the driveshaft. my cousin put the maf on improperly but other than that it came out well. the second run before the driveshaft gave it put down 399hp/420tq. est 420hp/450tq when all repairs are made. it breaks the 22s loose at 70 mph in 3rd gear. amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i love lsx power!!!
