Default Maf and DBW info LQ4

I am about to auto wrecker hunting for an intake tube and Maf as well as a DBW pedal/Module and harness for my '03 LQ4 into my "65 Corvette.
What other years and or styles will work?
Or work better?
Will the 5.3 stuff work?
Thanks for any suggestions,
regards,
Frank

Default good luck

00fxd, i have a dbw set up for a 5.3/4l60e. it would be easier(no headache) to buy the harness, foot pedal, ecu, and tac module from the same place or convert to dbc. my situation was that i did the above and i had no throttle response. motor would crank and run but the engine would not rev. the vendor sent me the wrong foot pedal. if possible get everything from one place. it would be easier to trace the problem to one source(1 vendor) rather than looking for several different vendors of each part. also spend the money with someone reputable. i spent time and money sending the parts back to the vendor, when it should've been tested b4 i recieved it. goodluck

Rockautos website allows you to look up the PN for your current motor and crossreference to other models and years.
Btw, nice project, got an 02 LQ9 with DBW in my 68 vette.

Thanks for the reply Gary, I'll give rock auto a try. My engine started out to be an LQ9 but some how after it got shipped across the country it became an LQ4. the guy didn't know the diff and I should have checked deeper. Hind sight.

The 4.8L/5.3L/6.0L
harness are the same, but you want the TAC box and pedal matached to the correct years ie the same year of the TAC box and pedal.

Thanks for the reply Bo, I'll try and keep the components from the same vehicle. I just wanted to know if it would work if I took the pieces off of a 5.3 or something. Would a Camaro TAC box/pedal set work on the truck TB?
