Hey guys, I'm new to the forum, but not new to the mechanical scene. I think I have a large amount of information that I need to do the swap, but I still have a coupe of unanswered questions. I bought a 02 silverado 5.3 lm7, which is cable driven to use in my 03 v6 silverado which is also cable driven, I did this to avoid converting to DBW. I am just curious as to if the engine harness and fuse panel will swap right into my 03 chassis, or do I need to do some modifying with the harness? My other question is with the engine mounts/frame mounts. I have both of the ENGINE mounts that the truck was pulled from (02 silverado z71 4x4), but I was only able to obtain 1 driver side FRAME mount from an 03 2wd v8 truck. I've heard that one of the FRAME mounts of the 03 v6 will line up with the stock 5.3 ENGINE mounts, but the other will not. Do I need both of the 03 2wd v8 frame mounts or just the one? Someone please school me on this.

Thanks in advance!!!

the frame mounts are different, you will need the v8 ones. avoiding the dbw is pointless, not sure why everyone tries to. i think the 99-02 harness is different at the fuse box. It would be alot easier to get a 03+ harness and add dbw.
