Default LS1 into Tahoe

I have an extra LS1 motor from a parts car and I was wondering what I would face if I were to drop it into my '95 2door Tahoe which, by the way, could really use that extra power, especially in the higher rpm range where it is currently a slug.

I have seen a DOD Gen IV 5.3L and 6l80 swap in to a 4x4 4dr 95 tahoe. I'll have to find the link.

I guess just different motor mounts and probably a stand alone transmission module. I think the Tahoe has a 4L60E but Im not certain, it may be a 4L80E. What about the CPU for the LS1, will that be a pretty straight forward install as well?

It's discussed in the article linked above.

Here's pic's of my 97. You can't go wrong with this swap.




Can't wait to set this on top of it soon.

Great article. I'm about to put 6.0 drivetrain into my Hummer H3. Lots of helpful information. Thanks.
