Can't wait to see it done. I wanna swap over to a 5.3 when my stock 4.3 decides to die.

Any questions hit me up. I did this same swap 6 years ago with a 5.3 from a 99 silverado in my 98 blazer.

well the engine is finally in but am in the middle of sorting out the wiring. Any chance of underhood wiring diagram or the 98 ecm pinout?

Everything was going good last week until on my way home wednesday..i wrecked my baby

Wow, that sucks. Seems like a going thing with anything to do with a big build. You get 3.4 of the way to finished and some kind of wreck happens.

Will we see a story in "Your Wrecked Car" thread?
