Wiring harness - it's the same one, you will not have any problems. Be sure you plug everything back up. EVERYTHING goes back the way that it was.

Yes if you want an extra computer (PCM), but there's no need for it.

Transmission work better? a shift kit will make a world of a difference. Do a search for "Transgo HD2" It's a true reprogrammer for your trans, and it helps with the life of it.
Summary - all that you're changing is the block and heads, nothing else, everything else is reused again.

Like our trucks GVWR is 7000(for instance my truck weighs 5200 unloaded just for figuring purposes) so it can carry 1800#s in addition to the vehicles weight.

Yah where did you get the deal on that motor anyway? I am in search of an lq4 here in about a month, trying to find good places to get the motor with as low a mileage as possilbe.

yes in stock form the lq4 what you have has lower hp than the lq9

Iron heads have the longer crank, and that's bad unless your going to run an 80e trans
There's lots of pics about this floating around, use the search at the top.

Get rid of the hypertech, it's crap, and it's useless, ebay it for 10-150, and never pick it up again
1. get a stock 6.0 tune
2. get an engine hoist
