5.3L into 86 C1500
5.3L into 86 C1500 I have a 2002 Chevrolet Tahoe with a 5.3L that I will be using for a donor vehicle for my 1986 Chevrolet pickup, first off I want to make sure I get everything I will need from the donor vehicle I've removed the radiator, ECM, under hood fuse/power distribution box, fuel tank, I know I have to get the gas peddle anything else?

Will the fuel tank actually bolt onto the 1986 Chevy truck? how much of the wiring harness do I need? I disconnected and left the engine harness on the engine but there were a couple other harnesses pluged int othe fuse/power distribution box

Feul lines you will have to switch to a hardline or high pressure feul line. Drive shaft can more than likely stay unchanged unless you mount the motor back really far.
Removing wiring removed the fuse box/power distribution box I know I need the harness white the black plug(engine harness) the warness with the green plug appears to be for the lights shouldn't need that, what about the harnesses with the red plug and the one white the white plug?

The white plug appears to contain the cruise control harness and the cabin dianogstic port which Si believe is all need from the harness with the white plug but this harness is quite difficult to remove
For example most ppl use this mount Trans-Dapt Performance Products 4595 - Trans-Dapt Performance Engine Swap Motor Mounts which sets the engine back 1" but most ppl running this mount also run an older style transmission, I plan to run the 4L60 and not sure if I require that set back
