Default Lm7 dbw to dbc

I recently bought a lm7 out of a 2005 Tahoe which came stock with a drive by wire intake/tb on it. What all do I need to after the new intake and tb is swapped on?

The better question is why would you want to do that? If you have all the electronics, DBW works awesome.

I didn't have all the electronics, but I decided to meet the guy and go get the old intake/tb. DBW it is then!

The intakes themselves are pretty much the same. You will just need a throttle cable, throttle cable bracket and a throttle body with sensors. Then you'll have to grab the wiring for the TPS and IAC from sensor to PCM and pin them into your harness.

Last, you'll need a PCM that can control DBC.
