5.7 swap into an old school van
Posted: Sun Dec 12, 2010 10:23 am
I am looking to place a 5.7 into my A-100
I have a handle on most of the stuff I need , But not wanting to be blind sided by anything.
Is there a engine swap check list or a do it yourself guide out there someone made up?
Such as,
What would be a good fuel pump? (I know I need a return line)
Guages. (I would like to convert to a digital display.)
Throttle senders .. whats needed? (I have a 06 truck engine)
Computer (was told the 05 computer because you only need 1)
Wireing harness (any wireing diagrams out there or will I need to purchase a ready made one?)
Well you get the idea. I would just like a thorough list of what is needed to do the swap.
Also transmissions
Thinking of useing the 545rfe or a 727 if i have too (length of the tranny might be an issue)
Pros, cons or other choices?
Thanks in advance
