2007 vortec max I am thinkng of doing a LSX swap... found a 2007 vortec max for 1500 bucks with 45000 kms on it, all wiring except pcm...
... Is this a good price?.
.... will PCM be hard to find or is it a generic one that engine style?
.... DRW truck take.. will a LS1 or LS2 intake with a DBC throttle body work?..
Hope these questions makes sense... any info would be great...

Its probably was an E67 ECM. I can't remember. But the E38 should work with it as well.
The intake and head are the same as the L92 6.2L trucks. Its a 87mm TB four bolt style.
The earlier intakes won't work as they are the cathedral port vs the this motor that has L92 heads with the square ports. but an LS3 intake will work on it. I would stick with the DBW be easier.

Keep the truck intake that's on it if it will clear your hood. Save some money. But the LS3 will fit that motor and accessory drive with a few mods.

The 1" setback will work. One issue I had was with the Richmond, it's longer than the Muncie. In their instructions, they suggest shortening the yoke to prevent binding on the speedo gear. I simply moved the engine forward with different mounts.
A different trans would not have that issue.
In fact the Edelbrock 1" setbacks move the engine forward maybe 1/4".
The other issue I had with the 1" setbacks was the big 621 bell housing was touching the tunnel. But that's probably due to old body mounts and sagging fiberglass. Again, simple solution, move the engine forward.

Just put one of these with a FTI cam and carb on it in my dads chevelle and it runs really good. Drives like a dead stock car. Untill the pedal goes to the floor.
We paid $2800 for ours it was brand new less computer with 50 miles on it.
We also removed the VVT and DOD

I'm sure I want the 6.0l... just wondering if a 04 would be better as I pretty much have the stndalone harness already instead of the 07 vortex max with all the other crap on it... the DOD and the VVT...

That's a pretty great price for an truck L76 6.0L with VVT.
Its probably was an E67 ECM. I can't remember. But the E38 should work with it as well.
The intake and head are the same as the L92 6.2L trucks. Its a 87mm TB four bolt style.

So I'm waiting to get some clarification as to what this 6.0L vortec max really is... I asked the guy for the number off the block...
As for my stand alone wiring harness i have.. this is the info i have...
1999-06 Vortec 4.8L, 5.3L & 6.0L Cable Throttle Standalone Engine Management Wiring Harness includes:
Connector #1 & #2 for ECM / PCM
Connector for Camshaft Position (CMP) Sensor
Connector for Crankshaft Position (CKP) Sensor
Connector for Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) Sensor
Connector for Intake Air Temperature (IAT) / Mass Air Flow (MAF) Sensor
Connector for Knock Sensor Sub Harness
Connector for Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) Sensor
Connector for Heated Oxygen (O2) Sensor #1 Bank #1
Connector for Heated Oxygen (O2) Sensor #1 Bank #2
Connector for Throttle Position (TP) Sensor
Connector for Fuel Injector #1, #2, #3, #4, #5, #6, #7 & #8
Connector for Idle Air Control (IAC) Valve
Connector for Alternator
Connector for Ignition Bank #1 Sub Harness
Connector for Ignition Bank #2 Sub Harness
Connector for Fuel Pump Relay (Includes Relay)
Four Position Fuse Block (Includes Fuses)
Connector for Assembly Line Data Link (ALDL)
Ring Terminal for Ground Lug
Ring Terminal for Power Lug
Lead for 12-Volt Switched Ignition Power
Lead for Fuel Pump Positive Output
Lead for Tachometer Signal Output
Lead for Brake Switch Signal Input
Leads for Check Engine Light (Ignition Power and Trigger)
Wiring for 4L60E Transmission (VSS is required with this option)
No Charge Options:
Wiring for A/C Recognition Circuit
Shorter ECM / PCM Trunk
ECM / PCM main branch from left rear of harness
Oxygen Sensor wiring configured for 6.0L
Mass Air Flow (MAF) / Intake Air Temperature Sensor relocation
Split Mass Air Flow (MAF) / Intake Air Temperature Sensor
ANyone have any idea what the diferences in the 06 and 07 would be and if this harness will work?( other than one is drive by wire and the harness is drive by cable) ...lots of mindless questions guys... and I thank you in advance..
