Time for change. Going fuel injected

[RiverRat70]

Last time I was on here I was changing from a 3 speed to a np a833 4 speed overdrive. Well now im going to start my next big change. Im going this weekend to pull a 5.3 from a 2000 Silverado and start workin on swaping it in my 70 c10 lwb. Im really hoping everything will work out like im planning because I want to hook my 4 speed overdrive to the new motor.

My first question though is does the guy on lt1swap.com do good work on the pcm flashing? He seems reasonable and has a lot of info. Every time I do a search for info on this kind of swap his website is mentioned.
Thanks for all of your info in advance

I did my first LS swap like in 2006 and that guy was around then[lt1 swap.com] yeah he his pretty reliable I have used John Spears [Speartech] look him up he is in IN. He was on the GM power train team the help design the electronics for the first ls Vette. That was a plenty good enough resume for me . He redid a harness and reflashed a PCM for me and he did what he said he would do when he said he would do for the price he promised.That makes a pretty good guy in my book and he helped me when I had a problem arise.

I hear ya! My daily driver is an '02 Tahoe with the 5.3 and 4L60E. It's only got 116k on it so it should serve me well for a long time yet. Just had a GM trans put in it with a 3 year 100k warranty so I'm good there for a while. My sun shell broke at 115k. Luckily my little sister works in the chevy dealer parts counter and got me the tranny installed for $2180. Wasn't going to bother doing myself for that much.

Has anyone successfuly mated a 2000 model 5.3 to a 4 speed or any other older manual transmission. I have the np a833 in my truck now and I really want to keep it with thenew motor
