Re: project INCREDIBLE HULK 6.2L with 6L80E
 

I talked with Howell feul injection as well as street and performance and both said it is not worth doing. So for my 05 5.3L who would you recomend getting a harness from so this function stays active? I am trying to get the best MPG I can out of this truck. It has 3.27RP with the 4L60E but the whole cylinder dropping has me at a loss at this point. Any imput would be great.

Also I missed it last time but nice job on slicing the rocker to fit the door/fender profile. Most poeple don't take the time to do this and it really pays off in the end.

Go with the stock harness/PCM. You are more than capable of re-routing some wires. It looks worse than it is...

Re: project INCREDIBLE HULK 6.2L with 6L80E
 

yea, that would be my first choice (do it myself) but john at speartech is also another great option, he knows his stuff......
S&P is hit and miss on knowledge, enough so i dont base decisons on what they say...

Re: project INCREDIBLE HULK 6.2L with 6L80E
 

Doing the harness is not that bad. Very scary looking and confusing at times with the mess of wires everywhere. Just do it one connector at a time and label everything... In the middle of doing mine and I quite enjoying it.... I do have one question for ya Don. Do you think it will affect the knock sensor reading if i route them inside the harness with the starter solenoid wire. They are a twisted pair of wires so I don't think induction should be a problem.
Thanx

Re: project INCREDIBLE HULK 6.2L with 6L80E
 

i dont think you'll have any interferance at all, you should be fine IMO

Re: project INCREDIBLE HULK 6.2L with 6L80E
 

I will contack John and get his imput. I would like to keep the DOD feature even if it only give a few % in gain on the MPG. I called S&P today to ask about CC on a drive by wire system and was pleased to find out it is all in their and all they would need to do is add a few wires for me to hook to my colunm switch. That will make for a very cloean set up. I assume John can do the same. Thanks for the info and I am heading over to read the link you sent.

Re: project INCREDIBLE HULK 6.2L with 6L80E
 

I tried finding the link someone posted about the 'clean' apprearing turn signal stalk w/the CC switch. Do you happen to know that source?

Re: project INCREDIBLE HULK 6.2L with 6L80E
 

i believe it was in my build up awhile back.

Re: project INCREDIBLE HULK 6.2L with 6L80E
 

It's a Dakota Digital item...

Re: project INCREDIBLE HULK 6.2L with 6L80E
 

I knew it was in one of these threads but couldn't remember which one. I just re-read through Don's SS build-up as well as LowBuks & didn't see it. The Killer build-up was next on my list.....

Re: project INCREDIBLE HULK 6.2L with 6L80E
 

That is the same one I have in Low Buck but it came with my CC kit that I ordered from a supplier that the manufacture recommended. I think the kit is a Rostra design or something like that. It works great now that I have all the dip switches adjusted right. I think summit or Jegs also sells the kits.

Re: project INCREDIBLE HULK 6.2L with 6L80E
 

I was meaning to look into that CC switch. To make that functional all a guy has to do is add the CC input from that switch to the PCM, right?? I was shocked on how cheap it is!!

Re: project INCREDIBLE HULK 6.2L with 6L80E
 

yes, the pcm controls the CC... just connect the on/off switch, resume/ accelerate, set....and you're done..;)

Re: project INCREDIBLE HULK 6.2L with 6L80E
 

Cool, I gotta have one...
Thanx

Re: project INCREDIBLE HULK 6.2L with 6L80E
 

are you going to use the fly by wire? we just wired up a 07 5.3 for a rail buggy and got the harness for the pedal from speartech. worked out perfect

Re: project INCREDIBLE HULK 6.2L with 6L80E
 

yelp, keepin the DBW

Re: project INCREDIBLE HULK 6.2L with 6L80E
 

Hey 68SS, What intake kit are you using with these gen4 engines and are you using the original MAF sensor to the engine???
Thanx.
Trevor

Re: project INCREDIBLE HULK 6.2L with 6L80E
 

i like to use the intake and air filter for a 00-02 denali/tahoe (aftermarket one)... and yes i keep the stock MAF and front O2s.... im not a huge speed density fan, especially for these GEN 3/4 engines

Re: project INCREDIBLE HULK 6.2L with 6L80E
 

Do you have a pic of the 6.2L intake setup yet?? Is there any mods to make the intakes fit?
Thanx.

Re: project INCREDIBLE HULK 6.2L with 6L80E
 

how does it work with the ride height sensors? Does it try to adjust for body roll while going around a corner?

Found where to get my cruise control switch/turn signal!

Re: project INCREDIBLE HULK 6.2L with 6L80E
 

none yet, no mods other then makeing a mounting bracket to support the weight of the tube/air filter....
yes, it sences the height of the suspension at any given time or load and adjusts it to your pre-sets....



some progress,
got the tranny lines mocked-up, on the 6l80e they come out of the driver side (unlike the 4l60e)...they are routed tightly under the tranny and then terminate into a AN tube adaptor....from there its just a few 90* and streight fittings, with bradided -6 line........


also doing the wiring, GM keeps switching PCM pins on me, so for all doing a swap 05-06 E38 computers are adiffrent from 07-08 38 computers... (computers are the same, just the pins that connect the wires to the PCM are diffrent) so i got some 07 E38 PCM pins comming...
here is the orginized mess :lol:

and a sneek peak at this :cool:

anything mocked up yet? Pics

Re: project INCREDIBLE HULK 6.2L with 6L80E
 

Looking good don.. Keep at it...

Re: project INCREDIBLE HULK 6.2L with 6L80E
 

68 short step what are the wire in this picture covered in? they look clean wrapped in this braiding, are the rest of the wires in your truck going to be covered in the material? Keep up the great work.

Re: project INCREDIBLE HULK 6.2L with 6L80E
 

Are you using the 2000 f-body pacesetter headers on this one too. Where do you get them. I also tried a previously posted link for the intake that you used aswell and it didn't work so if you can share that aswell that would be great.

Looking good..
Watching and learning...

Re: project INCREDIBLE HULK 6.2L with 6L80E
 

Is that one of those new trick composite plastic drive shafts?! :lol:

Great build, im really exicted to see what you do with that vette dash...

Re: project INCREDIBLE HULK 6.2L with 6L80E
 

that is how it came from airide, but it is basically the same thing as the painless "powerbraid" wire sleeve
PN 70901 1/4" dia. x 20ft
70902 1/2"dia. x 10ft
70903 3/4" dia. x 6ft
70904 s" dia. x 4ft


yes they are for 00-02 camaro firebird (race style, with no emission stuff)
im lookn for the link on the intake, i got it from ebay, for the 00 yukon


yes its good up to 1HP :lol:

Re: project INCREDIBLE HULK 6.2L with 6L80E
 

with this tranny being so much bigger, and the mount being 2.5" higher up then the 4l60e.... i was afraid it would interfer with the trans tunnel, so after a few measurements, i desided it would interfer....so i put the cab back on the frame (with the help of the wife) to see where and how bad it was interfering......after we got it on i had her look to see where it was touching and i marked it from inside.....so i cut the hump out, and set the cab completly down.....and with the engine moved back as it is on this truck, it sits close to the firewall, but fits the contores of the firewall like a glove......it looks awsome sitting up on the firewall, they couldn't of done a better design back in 71 to make a new engine fit so good.....
here are some pics

Re: project INCREDIBLE HULK 6.2L with 6L80E
 

Why didn't you use the "LH8" oil pan? I think you mentioned it before. Do you have the dimensions? I was looking at this one on ebay, but not sure if it will work.

Re: project INCREDIBLE HULK 6.2L with 6L80E
 

Will a stock "high hump" fit?

Re: project INCREDIBLE HULK 6.2L with 6L80E
 

yes the LH8 pan will clear, but the camaro pan is still shallower......and we're gonna be low, so ground clearance is a concern.....
here are the demensions
http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c8.../lh8oilpan.jpg

most defently.....the interferance was mainly on the back part (tailshaft houseing) but instead of modding that one spot and looking like poop, i desided to raise the entire thing...
