Re: L83 GEN 5 Swap

It is nothing like a typical 6.0 swap.

You will need everything the LS needs and some, either use an electric power steering or you will have to change the front accessory mounts. Also, headers are about $1k and you will need them. Vacuum pump will likely need removed, there is a sensor on the DS of the intake next to the TB, drill and tap it.
So you know...on e85, these l83’s have 410hp and 400 tq. They can be awesome but swapping is not easy.
