Hey guys what all has to be changed to do the swap I have a 05 RCSB 2wd 5.3








2005 2WD RCSB 5.3 3.73's Locking Diff. Tb Bypass granatelli mass air Volant CAI w/ram air tube TB spacer Flowmaster cat back

 

motor, and have pcm tuned

 

flexplate switched over mabye crank spacer depending on year of the motor other than what 2k5 said thats it

 

If you dont mind me asking why are you swaping the motor in an 05 truck? Its brand new. I understand wanting more power but why didnt you just order one or get a used one then?

 

just curious for later info plan on getting all I can out of the 5.3 miles power etc. but in the future I may do a swap

 

Just the motor it's pretty much that simple. Hey what track is that in your sig?

 

hey that is george rays wildcat drag strip in paragould ar old track 1/8 mile been there since 1961

 

I hydrolocked my 5.3 liter last week when we had a bad rain come up down a public road so my insurance is buying a new long block for the truck. Since I'm really good friends with the owner of our local dealer I'm getting them to order the LQ9 long block instead of the 5.3 long block. The price is the same so everything should be ok. I'm thinking about going with the Nelson tune and I already have edelbrock headers, corsa catback, aem brute force, e-fans. If anything else has to be changed I'll let y'all know besides that already mentioned.

 

Isn't that the dragstrip that was on Horsepower TV about a year ago? I thought it looked familiar.

 

That be the one.
