any reason I cant put lly heads ficm/ecm/harness/ turbo and all top end on my lb7? should work as far as im concerned
im in the process of the lly engine swap from 01 lb7 to a 05 lly rite now. i found the injector wire colors are not the same. just swaping spot for spot on the c1 and c2 clips. see how it works out . Any advice from people that have done the swap would be helpfull....also what other road blocks have you guys run into.

I have a 2001 and have replaced my injectors once. Truck has under 150,000 kms, so under 96K miles on it. Someone is selling an 05 LLY locally for less than the price of a set of injectors and I'm wondering what all comes across in a head swap, and what other parts are interchangeable (turbo, CP3, etc.). I have some black smoke right now under acceleration and when towing, so I'm not sure if I buggered something when I did the injectors (did them myself), or have a turbo issue or what.
Anyway, if I do the conversion is it easier to swap motors entirely or just the heads? I have an 01 so I know it isn't plug-n-play and I need to find someone in BC (Canada) who can do the EFI live stuff.
Love my truck and plan to keep it but hate the idea of doing the injectors again.
