I'm that guy. It's possible, and about to happen in my truck. I'm hoping to have it going within the month. I'll have a very detailed thread about it

Awesome can't wait to see it! I'm tired of putting injectors in my lb7. I have kind of a plan but I'd like to see how you do it. I was thinking about doing a whole cab onto my frame but idk if that would work or not. Using the 06 cab so I don't have to rewire everything. And just use my front clip drop the motor and trans in and set the cab over it.

I like the idea but I do a lot of stop and go and short drive stuff on my ranches so shifting might get old. I'll have to look into it. Any pluses besides it being totally rad. Over allisons?

Well this truck is a factory zf-6 some people love em some people hate em. I get tired of shifting but I'm hoping it's going to turn into my weekend driver so I really don't mind.

If I was going to go out and buy a truck it would be an auto. This one worked out great for both of us so it's staying

Oh ok gotcha. Yeah I'll probably stick with auto and just have it built up to handle the power I wanna produce with the lbz.

03 LB7 to LBZ Swap

I know these posts are old but I was wondering if anyone did a more detailed list of everything that needs to be changed for a 2003 LB7 to LBZ swap.

There's info out there about it.. Good thing about 03 is it's mostly plug and play.

I have the wiring harness from the LBZ as well as the fuse box, is it better to use the fuse box from the LBZ or should I stick with the LB7 fuse box?
