You are gonna have to do some work to make an LB7 motor work in a truck that ran an LLY completely different animal. I would slap the LLY top end onto the LB7 and call it good.

On the LLY, the injectors are a different style, and different voltage, and it has a computer controlled turbo charger. You are going to need the ECM and harness. You will also need to disable the VATS system if it exists with EFILive or a Tech2.

Rick D Lance has done this IIRC, he's a member here. Shoot him a PM.
