I have a 97 3500 4x4 with a 5.7 Vortec and 4L80e. I was running a whipple on it.
I need more torque for pulling a car hauler.
I sold the whipple and bought a 2000 very low mileage (30k) 7.4L L29 motor, PCM, and harness. (Tree fell on a newer truck years ago, insurance totaled, guy grabbed the motor, finally decided to sell it).
Based on other posts, I have purchased fuel injectors, FPR, and upper and lower intake gaskets. I also purchased a new billet distributor because the guy that pulled the motor smashed the stock one.
I pulled the intake today. Very glad I did. Signs of significant oil leakage pass the lower intake gaskets.
Once I get the motor back together, anything in particular I need to be wary of or keep in mind with this swap?
Motor mounts? Will I need to change the frame pads or location?
Anything else?
