I need to swap out the TBI 350 in my 91 turdburban, apparently the knocking wasn't a cracked flexplate . 91 burban, 350, 700r4, np241, I'm trying to figure out the least retarded way to huck a 6.0 ls in it.
I have an 04 lq4 dbw sitting here, p.o. cut the harness, but I have the pedal and computer. I know dbw wont work with the kickdown cable on the 700r4, but I remember finding someone making the bits for dbc throttle bodies. For this swap I'd need a new throttle body, kickdown parts, stand alone harness, I believe a different ecm, and a bushing for the torque converter, I believe that's all.
option 2, same lq4, but find a 4l80e. I dont know if I could use all the dbw stuff this way and avoid buying dbc bits and pieces. Havent found a 4wd trans, would the tail shaft housing off the 700r4 swap on to a 4l80? I know the 700r4 is the predecessor to the 4l60 but I dont know about any physical differences.
option 3, find complete engine, trans, and transfer case to swap in. Would probably try to find a running truck for this, so far it's all push button cases. Dont know if I could swap the current case to the new trans, or swap my manual shift parts to an electric shift case.
I'm sure I'm forgetting some things, any input is appreciated. Let the flaming commence
