how come a 2005-2006 5.3 engine wont fit my 02 model truck.
i found a 06 model 5.3 engine in a salvage yard but the guy at the counter says it wont fit my 02 silverado he says that the hollander number is different. he wants $600 bucks for a 06 model engine with 21k miles on it and all of his other engines are 80-100k mile range. he says that going by hollander interchange that my truck takes a 200-2004 model year to fit it. has any body else put the late model engine in there older truck? THANKS!!

The guy behind the counter is an idiot. The only difference is the drive by wire throttle body but that can be changed by loosening a few bolts and swapping your current tb on. An '06 won't have EGR either but that's no big deal anyway.
Come to think of it; you'd have to swap fuel rails too since the fuel return systems are different.
