LB7 into LMM

[Bigred350x]

Alright guys, I have two trucks. An 01 LB7 with a built motor and compounds and an 09 LMM with triples and built trans. The body of the LB7 truck is rough and there is some rust on the under-side.

My LMM with triples finally let out the ghost.

How much of a headache would i be in for if I wanted to put the LB7 and its built trans into the LMM?

Next question... could I put a set of LMM heads on the LB7 short block and use LMM injectors and the LMM wiring harness and avoid having to do the ECU swap?

I already have a stock LMM that I'm putting head-studs in while its out of the truck and I got the idea to put the fun engine in the nice truck.

More trouble than its worth?

Thanks

Reluctor wheel also has to be changed out. I think you're on the right track otherwise. You're just swapping shortblocks.

Don't think anyone has done it since the LMM uses canbus and the LB7 doesnt

What sensors would I need to swap on top of the reluctor ring? I would be keeping as much stuff LMM as possible. Basically just want the bottom end from the LB7 but the top end from the LMM. Could i just swap all of the applicable LMM sensors into the LB7 bottom end, swap out the reluctor ring and get it all back in the truck?

Im pretty sure thats it. Do yourself a favor, send a PM off to member "RPM Motorsports". Russ has probably done this exact swap, and would know exactly what needs to be moved over.
