Default 2007 silverado ly2 to ly6 swap

Howdy guys,

From Texas and got struck with the gear head bug kinda late. I love my truck and decided he needed an upgrade. I'll be doing all the work myself, but im a bit of a newbie, so the work will be slow, tedious, and frustrating. I'll have a bunch of questions, a lot of pictures, and probably a lot of laughs for you guys who know what youre doing.
Cheers

It should be a pretty easy swap even for a newbie. Take plenty of pictures of everything you unplug and maybe even everything you unbolt, The pictures will help if you run into trouble.

Finally did it, got my ly6 in the truck, it just got dark on me so couldnt get the starter wired up. But radiator is in, engine is in, computer flashed with l77 program. Dod deleted, rev limiter upped, cats deleted, premium fuel only, wiring harness adapter in and done.
ill start it tomorrow and take some pictures. Still waiting on my headers to get in.
