Im thinking of swapping my 5.3 to a newer 405hp 6.2L. I havent done much research on it, just wondering if you guys have made the same swap and how bigga pain it is to do?

 

it should be easy, go for it. You have most of the stuff you need

 

i was also wondering what all is needed for the swap? has anyone put the new 6.2 in a 99-06 truck?

 

you *have to change the reluct or wheel or use linginef/lter box from there everything should be easy DI have used the box and had a couple of problems but as longest use mount it in a place where v decent get too much frequency it should work fine with out a problem the box I_havE _Use it and works fine the box is about $250

 

instead of the lingenfelter box i changed my reluctor wheel put some rod bolts and main studs in my engine for the same price as the box


.02

 

Ive heard the cam wheel and extentions for the knock sensors is all you need.. But what about the PCM? Is it compatable?

 

you have a pm

 

Yeah just reading it

 

^^^ share? I also heard those boxes are iffy.

 

+1, can't remember when and where I read it (well, I'm sure that I read it either here or on Tech), but I remember reading of some issues with the boxes...

Do the boxes convert old to new (24 to 58) or the other way around? I know that they don't do both...
