a guy i know has a chevy pickup with a piston slappin 6.0 and he wants to buy my ls1 off me and have me put it in. will it be a simple drop in and go? or will their be some problems along the way? my ls1 came out of my 98 and im not sure what year the truck is. atleast 02 or 03

Drill and tap the hole for the alt, otherwise the longblock is the the same external dimensions as your LS1

If it's GEN IV and has the cam sensor on the front cover, youll have to do some minor changes to your Fbody harness

shouldn't be any drilling and tapping going that direction. Simple swapover, install all the truck accessories/ balancer/ water pump and truck intake stuff over. You are gonna have to use the 98 car coils since the truck coil pack brackets wont bolt on your 98 valve covers but that should be no big deal. The car coil harnesses will plug into the trucks wiring fine. Should be pretty straightforward.

Read over it too fast, hes going the other way, so yeah, one hole too many now

hey i forgot to ask. with the ls1 in the truck will the stock computer have any problems running it since the cam and compression will be different?

You never did state what year the 6.0L was ?.. do they both have 24x sensor and reluctor wheels ? (check the color of the crank sensor).

If the same, Highly suggested you get a tune anyway ... . but it should start up and run.. the question is how well...!?

the truck is a 2000 gmc 2500. im not by the truck right now.. do they have the same reluctor wheel? if not is there a way around it?

I am pertty sure that the Gen IV with 58x started in the trucks from 06' or 07', and that it is a LQ4 (?) and that yours should be a 24x wheel (but as usual, I could be corrected !)
