I have just purchased a 2006 LQ4 and 4L80e out of a 2500HD and have plans to put it into a 63 Impala Factory SS, Convertible, AC, PS, PB, PW car. I just want to make sure I don't forgett anything when I pull it out of the truck.
This will be my first LS based swap.

So some links in the right direction would be great I tried to do some searching, but I guess what I put in didn't realy find much.

Thanks for the help in advance as this sight is awsome for the advanced and the newb as far as i can tell.

This is a quick run down of my what I have instore.

63 Impala Vert: I have
Canadian frame which is boxed in from the factory: I have
a 2000 Fbody Loaded K member: I have
2006 6.0L LQ4 and 4L80E

I have no plans to make any changes to the ls motor and trans if possible.

Thanks
Matt

Are you sure a 4l80 is going to fit in an "X" style frame? Seems like it might be a little tight. Anyway, get as much as possible, better to take too much rather than have to buy stuff later. Don't forget the gas pedal and TAC module and wiring between the two(if it has a tac module, not sure what year they stopped using them). And of course , PCM, wiring harness, and the tranny lines might be helpful, as the ends that go to the trans are push-in type.

Thats the kind of info I need, I didn't realize the trans lines are push in. IS the 4l80e longer? I know that the width and hight is bigger. I have put a 60 into a X frame with a LT1 and no tunnel mods and no problem on length.

If you figure out that you won't be using the 4l80, let me know. i would like a crack at it.

Fuel tank sender and sensors ...

the tranny line fittings on the trans itself can be changed to the flare fitting type. Yes grab the TAC module and throttle pedal. Fuel sender and pump arent needed as they wont fit your tank anyways. Rock Valley could probably set you up with a fuel tank that will bolt in and have the right pump and sender. The 4L80E is basically a TH400 with another 4" added to the front (IE: 4th gear) you may run itnto a problem with the trans mount area with the X frame. There is enough room to open it up and remake the mount to fit. Grab the yoke from the drive shaft. Grab the entire Under Hood Fuse Block. You can cut down, remake or just plain use all of the fuses and such from it. Alot of circuts run through it so it is good to have if not for anythiong else but to chase circuts through. If you run itno any wiring issues I can get you the GM schematic for whatever you are working with. There is no VSS box for this truck. Speedo is all through the PCM. G
