NEED HELP ASAP
I currently have a standard sbc 350 carbed with a v6 t-5 in the car. I can trade my smoking motor and $100 for a 5.3 out of a wrecked 2002-04 ish Tahoe. I need to know what all I need to do the install and if my transmission will work with the Ls motor? I know that I will need a fuel pump, air intake, motor mounts, and different exhaust.. I am just not sure about the exhaust and the biggest thing is the tranny situation. ANY and ALL information would be VERY much appreciated!

Re: NEED HELP ASAP
Read a lot of swap threads too. That will help along with a healthy budget. It's not a cheap swap.

Re: NEED HELP ASAP
Yes sir, there is soo much that would need to be done that I think instead of going with a stock Ls, I'm just going to build my 350 up.
