Good lookin truck & definitely a Sleeper! Is everything plug n play for the swap engine to trans, harness?? Any custom modification? What size is your trans & what oil pan you'll be using? & will it be possible to drop in a Ls1 or Lq4/9 to fit??

Pretty much all ls based motors will fit in. Most of it is straight forward. Plus they have a 5.3 available in the 09 and up

You can bring the motor on over to Indiana and we can put it in my '05 Coly instead, sound good? Lol. 3.5L isn't enough power for me...

Yeah. I've seen the truck. Sweet Coly. Way more money put into his truck than I could ever justify putting into mine. Lol. I thought about picking up a 5.3 for mine, but it sucks already in northern Indiana winters and that's only with the 3.5, couldn't imagine how bad it would be with a 5.3. Ha.

lol though honestly the 3.5 in mine with intake, exhaust, and a mild tune still isn't too bad for what it is.

Swapped out the oil pickup since I have to use a LH8 oil pan (colorado/canyon/h3) since the silverado one won't work, and the oil pickup was too long so I had to use a LH8 one. However I did get a new windage tray but I saw no need to swap it out.



LH8 pan, it will be staying the cast aluminum color






and another reason why I can't use the pan
