MountainGoat Posted May 14, 2006 Report Share Posted May 14, 2006 hi i have a 97 tahoe, recently i had a rod berring go out and i "was" planning on rebuilding the motor, but then i got to thinking about buying a motor out of wreched one.... but what about the option of a 5.3..? has anyone done this? i personally think its a better motor, same power more fuel efficient. so if someone has done this what does it all take, or what would it take...? i really would like to put one of these motors in my tahoe, that or a 6.0 out of a escalade . any help would be greatly apprecitated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zippy Posted May 14, 2006 Report Share Posted May 14, 2006 The swap can be done. Just plan on a time consuming project. I'd recomend getting a pcm Harness from a newer Tahoe like around 2000-2002 or so. Using the pcm and harness as well as a trans from a gen III engine it would just be a matter of making the motor mounts work and tuning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
