LS2 Swap and headers done

[992dr]

I'm lookin forward to this swap.
Did you do an 80E swap also? Or, are you still using the 60E?

 

[minytrker]

Neither, 09 has a 6L90 stock.

 

[992dr]

Oh, Nice.

When are you going to post up some pictures?

 

[minytrker]

There isnt anything to see, it looks exactly like it did with the 5.3.

 

[992dr]

Yeah, true.

What is the shopping list needed for this to work ? engine thats it ?

What 6.2 do you use, and how easy is it to swap? It looks like you had all the parts between the 5.3 and 6.0 to do the job without anything extra. It would be interesting to know the parts list, if anything, needed to put a 6.2 in place.

Its a direct swap, I re-used all my 5.3 accessories, intake and oil pan. Only thing I bought was new oil pan gasket, new water pump (could have used 5.3 one), exhaust gaskets, and fluids. I also added headers but could have re-used my stock manifolds. You will need the ECM flashed to delete the DOD at a minimum for it to run. It will run and drive on a 5.3 tune if you had to, not recommended though. It depends on what the 6.2 came out (car vs truck) of to what you need to do to use in a tahoe.

Cool! Thanks for sharing. I'd probably go this route if (when?) the 5.3 popped.

Found myself a Gen IV 6.0 short block to work with
Tore it down Sunday, I'll be calling the machine shop tomorrow to see what his schedule is.
