got my engine and tranny.... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

well i went and picked up my engine and tranny and discovered that the tranny is a 4l80e not a 4l60e. so i got a 6.0l vortec and a 4l80e with the computer and harness and all accessories ready to drop in for $900. i think i got a darn good deal. plus it has headers on it already!!!! i just hope they fit between the frame rails. they cut a few odd and end wires pulling the engine and harness. im gonna trace them down and find out what they are tomorrow. i have wiring diagrams and ecm pinouts to go by. i have a couple questions. firstly how many 02 sensors were on it? theres only one up front in the drivers side pipe. so i think one front sensor is missing. i know the rear ones are missing but they wont be used anyway. secondly how can i add controls in the cab and keep the cruise? heres some pics in a photobucket album. lemme know what you think and if yall think i got a good deal.
thanks,
John

That looks like a good deal. So I guess you didn't get the whole truck as originally planned? Hopefully you got everything you need to get the 6.0 running. What'cha going to do for a speedo?

im going with aftermarket gauges. ive been eying this panel from nordskog for the simple fact that my cadillac has spoiled me to digital gauges. lol i read somewhere that that you still need to get a signal converter from dakota digital for it to work right. idk yet though.

That sounds like a really good deal for a 6.0/4l80e. I was hoping to have my 5.3 to the point of cranking by now but I decided to pull the cab and the snowball started rolling...

Keep us posted on your progress!

Hewlett,

Here is how I added cruise to my steering column.

I suppose that you have the cruise actuator with the engine. I see you have the fuse block, that will help a lot.

Good luck,

TR
