It looks like it may be a score because the new one is a 6.0L and it should have the new HD 6 speed automatic, however; it may require some re-work due to the trans being different and possibly the motor mounts as the new engine came from an 08 Silverado HD. I also have to figure out who can do the programming for the new combo as the trans control module is located inside of the transmission pan and all the research I did was for the 5.3 combo. I'll let you know how it all turns out.
Introduce yourself w/board member 68shortstep. He's done more than one of these LS based swaps & seems to have a knowledgeable information base w/multiple sources..... http://www.67-72chevytrucks.com/vboa...d.php?t=269754

Nice project BTW . . ...

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
