just lettin everyone know I'm here and sayin hi. I got a 2000 LQ4 to a 96 Tahoe swap in process. So I will be on here askin questions...many of them!!! So yeah I'm sayin hi!

 

Welcome!

 

Welcome!!
what are you doin for a wiring harness?

 

Welcome...Is it a 2 door...I miss mine

 

It is a 4 door actually, sorry!!!lol but as far as the wiring harness I am not all to sure yet. I am not beyond cutting and spicing but I am always looking for an easier way that doesn't cost anything, or even very little would be fine (like 10 bucks). I'm in college for auto so I'm doin' it all there, but there I have the luxury of Mitchell On Demand and ALLdata so I can find wiring diagrams easily. So I guess I will end up gettin' there when I get there...hopefully soon.
My biggest issue I'm having right now I just found on here lastnight. I have a 2000 LQ4 and it just so happens to have a crank that is about 3/8" longer then 01+. The thing that is making it all f'd is the transmission and torque converter. I am hoping to use my 4L60E until I can afford a 4L80E (about September). Mating the LQ4 flexplate to a 60E torque converter is impossible without physical modifications to the flexplate. My 5.7 60E flexplate was crap, missin a tooth, teeth ground down, so I couldn't use that one. I read that someone had bought a TCI plate and just fliped it around the "wrong way". But it's gonna take some time and more research and I got some time we're in engine rebuilding at school and I will be tearing the 6.0 down tomorrow. I plan on a LQ9 cam and maybe a set of flat top pistons to ecentially turn into a LQ9 but with iron heads. But I will have to wait til I tear it down and measure everything before I can get to much into buying a rebuild kit.
But if anyone can give me any ideas as fars as LQ4 flexplate/ 4L60E converter mating or what to do with the wiring harness lemme know!!!
I will repost this in a new thread so it gets more hits then just in the newcomers section.
