Need to quickly remove everything from silverado for swap
Hey so this is my first swap. Right now I have a 2004 silverado 2500 with an LQ4 and a 4L80E. I am trying to put those into my 74 camaro LT.
Still painting the camaro, but due to unforeseen circumstances, I am needing to remove everything I need from the truck and get rid of the rest. Can anyone that has done an LS swap before tell me the important things to take off? Of course, I know ill need the whole motor and transmission to be taken out. Keeping the manifolds for a turbo as well.
With regards to wiring, I plan on getting a full harness down the road. Right now what else would I need to take out of the silverado? I am reading stickies and other swaps and have been for a while, but wanted to see if anyone had any other ideas.
These are so simple to get all the harness stuff you need in one shot.
Fuse box...
Black connector from the middle of the fuse box. (Bottom side.)
(Black connector in the middle) This is the main one that will go with the harness to the engine. It and the two that go to the ECM. (There are a couple of smaller ones also. They are quite obvious when you get to them.)
Orange, green and white stay with vehicle... Black one in my hand is one you want...
Here's a pic of the three connectors you will end up with...very simple.
