L03 to a L05

Hey guys hoping to answer a few questions i have about my future swap. Besides needing a 350 knock sensor, larger TBI, and high flow fuel pump. Isnt everything else pretty much plug and play? What kind of chip should i run? And is my stock cooling system good enough to handle it? Thanks for any help.

I looked into this too. I was told my stock fuel pump would work fine. Yes, you need the 350 knock sensor. You don't need a larger throttle body, you need the 350 truck injectors. They're $120 a piece from scoggins dickey and you need two of them. An Ed Wright chip wouldn't be a bad idea but it will work without it. Just don't buy a Hypertech or anything like that. Everything else should be easy.
