When I asked a while back no one said anything about this. I hope that it will bolt up since I've already purchased the engine.

Its a weak motor from factory, crank is a bastard, heads are garbage

Onky good thing from motor is the actual block


These motors sell for 200 complete since they are not desired

Anyone know what all is needed to do a LS swap into a Colorado currently with a 3.5? 4wheel drive if that matters.

Wiring harness, trans bellhousing(if 4l60e), trailblazer 5.3/6.0 oil pan(iirc colorados have same setup with the axle going through the oil pan) accessory drive, whole bunch of stuff.... probably less expensive to trade it in on a colorado with a 5.3 or a silverado....
