That would be one of the easiest swaps you could do! It would be a real beast I think. Get with Speartech on the computer end of it, build a good exhuast system and bolt it together.

I think some of the sensors are in differant locations you may have to adapt the harness as well.

There are some issues with sensors moving, and some issues with different connectors needed. The Map sensor moves, the injector conenctors are all different, the knock sensors move, and the Cam position sensor moves.
I think that might be it??
Also, the way the truck harness routes doesn't look real good when it is stuck on top of a nice new Vette intake, it kind of covers it down the center, and then goes out the side. Not very attractive.

thanks guys. I left out that the truck is an 06 so i think the knock sensor location is the same? but the other stuff i will look into. any more info would be great . again thanks, don
Any recomendations on a modified harness source? I am kind of looking for plug and play for the most part.
