Hi guys I'm a newbie to the site but have been reading through conversion threads for a while. I'm trying to work out the best way to convert my 1966 impala to ls power.

I had the idea of a 5.3 and 4l60 so have been on the look out for a parts vehicle to strip the whole lot from.

Well I've found a 2003 GMC Savana 2500 cargo van that has been written off that has the 6.0ltr. I'm hoping to view in the morning. After a bit of research I have gathered that it has the LQ4 engine and 4l80 transmission?? so I'm wondering if any of you guys know different to that?

I was looking to use as much of it as possible. I read that you can use the truck looms so I'm guessing i can use the van loom? also is there any differences that will affect my conversion or can i use the whole package. Obviously

I will get motor mounts and have to sort the oil pan and front accessories. But could I use the original intake etc? There is also a 2004 GMC Savana 2500 cargo van there but it's only the 4.8 which I'm guessing wouldn't be as good in a big car like the impala? any advice, tips, hints would be greatly appreciated Cheers Dan

I'm going to try and purchase it in the morning, I'm hoping i can use the wiring after modifying it along with the complete engine and transmission set up?
From what i read it's DBW so hoping to use that as well.

Look up a thread by "futureuser" he did a 69 camaro with a ly6/4l80e that came out of a van like the one you are looking at.

Savanna Cargo van should have been drive by cable in 2003. PCM should be green and blue.
