hey guys,

im prety new to the ls engines, if thats wat im supost to call them. but i have a older style truck (92 gmc) and i think i can get a 5.3 pretty cheap from a rebuilder here in town. now my question is, does anybody make a intake that will bolt up to the ls heads and i can run a tbi or a carb? i was thinkin that this might be a decent lil swap for just a play truck.

any inputs would be appreciated.


and by the way my daily driver is a
03 chevy 1500 z71
poweraide tbi spacer
airaid intake
wheatly tune
305 bfgs

always wantin more power!

if you want more power dont take a new style motor and put old technology on it. make the complete swap theres a couple on here i think.

im not realy wantin to make big power in the old truck. just a engine that runs and makes decent power. just a thought.

just stay with the stock fuel injection on it

wat does it take to get all my wireing and stuff correct? i know it wont be a plug and play, but how much work willl there be in it?

you need a turnkey engine. meaning motor with complete harness, pcm, bcm, fusebox. and a manual of your truck for the current dash wiring, so you can splice into it instead of running all aftermarket gauges

ok. as far as my 700r4 goes, everything shud bolt up and work as is? im not even sure what i can get a motor and all for. but this has been a idea that has been rollin around in my head.

I beleive you need a new bellhousing, but if it were me, I would find a 4l60e/5.3 combo so that the new ecu can run it all.
