So there's a 4.8l truck with a manual tranny and cable throttle.....which year/s?

 

yeah, 99-05 or so 4.8s...some of them come with manual trans.

 

99-02, 03 went to dbw

 

wow, didn't even read the cable throttle part

 

I have the stock 5.3l intake and Fuel Rail leftover from the swap if someone wants to trade for a PCM?

 

xschop you might be able to buy a PCM from a company like wait4meperformance.com

 

I'm about finished with my swap. I took pics to show how I got the factory 5.3L fuel injectors to fit the LS1 intake, just need billet fuel rails....

I simply cut off the LS1 injectors and re-crimped the Truck connectors....



1/2" standoff spacers on the fuel rail studs does the trick of lowering the fuel rail onto the 5.3 injectors and seating them in the LS1 intake injector ports, I even re-used the injector seals...

 

nice work. i love the way these cars look. the body of a porsche + the heart of a chevy =

 

I did the PCV valve mod using Part# PCV1009....
too easy

 

It's all done now....Love the 5.3L..... Major nuts and low end torque and with the LS1 intake and Magnaflo and no CAT she hauls *** in stock form...
I do have another question...does the starter bolts need sealant? I read that certain bolts on these motors need sealant because the bolts are tapped all the way thru into the block
