My buddy is getting ready to swap engine/trans from a 2005 Silverado 2500 to a 2007 Silverado (Classic). He has engine smarts, but like me, he never really got into the whole computerized engine era. Give him an old S10 or a Bronco and he'd be able to go to town with the right parts and tools available.
Anyway, I believe he is going from a 4.8L V8 to a 6.0L V8, including the trans. What kind of curve balls could he possibly encounter? Is it as simple as keeping the PCM/TCM with the correct engine, or will there be differing computer types/harnesses and so on...? I'm guessing the BCM's will differ, further adding to the mess.
So, anyway... any input would be helpful in the planning stage.
Thank you!
