more specs after its dropped in are mandatory as you know.

Not sure if you know the steps to pull the motor in these trucks.
But the upper intake plenum has to come off...

You can by the fancy numbered tape, or you can use some masking tape, to mark where each connection goes.
This really isnt neccesary, as they can only plug into one place, (except the injector harness) but it makes things MUCH faster, if something isn't plugged in mark that its not plugged in.
Same thing for vac lines.

Ac condensor can be un-bolted then you can use some rope or a bungie cord to hold it outta the way.

All of the serp belt system needs to come off.

Rad can stay, but its very easy to pull out, i pulled mine, for safety sake. Didnt wanna put a hole in it for sheer laziness.

Dont forget the converter bolts a BIG screw driver or a pry bar to pry against the teeth of the fly wheel is neccesary.

When i have the harness off i lay it across the roof of the truck, out of the way and when you get the new motor in, you can lay it back across the motor with out tryin to figure a bunch of routing.

Take the hood off, again not neccesary, but makes things SO much easier.

Im sure ill remember more later.

That just sounds dirty for some reason. Congrats on the engine swap Chris.

Your 280K some odd mile E4OD may not like all that power.

the tranny is fresher than that. its probably got right at 80 now... not for sure. but it does have a shift kit so this'll make things interesting.

What about the P/S pmp??

I'd delete the egr & smog but thats just me..

true. what all does it take to delete the smog and egr valve?

 

[dragogt]

Search newb.... lol

The egr is a block off plate and a rester to keep the ck engine light off (thats all it does) And as far as the pump; IIRC a short belt or they make a idler pulley to run the stock belt...

ok is there anyway i can do the egr valve with out buying a resistor? cause im gonna try to be out very few dollars. im trying to do this under a budget and im right at the budget line as it is.
