I was simply saying that the process of replacing the motor in question would be an easy task for someone.

 

Intakes are different. You need the 6.2 intake and more than likely the 6.2 injectors as well. You also need to be careful with AFM/VVT meaning if the engines being swapped do not share the same set up? Your going to need to add or delete the corresponding system from the swap engine.

Cant think of much else right now. Sounds like a damn fun swap.


But as a small aside I agree with the yeard prices these days? holy crazy prices. I guess all the LSx swap mania has set the bar high. We are victims of our own success it seems lol

 

Truck is a 2010 so I thought all the intake and fuel system just bolts on to the 6.2...

 

It has nothing to do with year. 07+ 6.0 and 6.2 use the rectangle port head. All 5.3, 4.8 and 06 and older LSx use cathderal ports

 

The engine we will get will be complete with an intake. I know it will drop right in. My main question was wiring as in sensors and plug ends and could the computer on his truck be tuned to run the 6.2 or will we need the wiring harness and computer. I assumed the computers were the same just programmed different.

 

Sweet thanks for clearing that up

 

You can re-use your 5.3 management ( ECM, harness etc ) no doubt which will need a re-tune as mentioned. But I cant say how completely "plug and play" the swap will be. There will probably be some things you will need to address on the wiring side, there always is. What those are? You'll have to get the pinouts of each year engine/vehicle and compare and work through. But a lot of things will overlap so its not a huge deal. If that seems beyond you? Be wary of taking on a swap. If your willing to do some homework and dig up the nec info when/if needed? You'll be off to the races in no time.

 

This is what I'm planning now. I already have a l99(ls3)/6l90e dropout from a 2012 camaro ss. I'm now doing the swap research so I'll be keeping an eye on this. No truck yet...still hunting for a rcsb.

 

^ Going to be a fun truck indeed. Post up if you run into snags along the way. Lots of knowledge and experience on this board and tech as well.
