5.7 to 5.3
Posted: Sun Feb 16, 2014 5:50 pm
After looking at the price of new/used car I'm thinking the Yukon is going to be around for a bit longer. The engine has about 213K, still runs good but is starting to show it's age.
The question is, can a 5.3 and computer be swapped in for the 5.7.
It's a 99 Yukon with the 4L60E trans.
I know the engine can physically fit with a spacer for the trans and new motor mounts but will the computer control the rest? correctly?
It is an SLE model so no electronic dash, climate control or anything fancy just basic controls inside.
Just thinking, swapping engine/trans/computer but would it talk to the ABS and dash?
Any thoughts?
