Asked by GuruP14DH Jan 21, 2020 at 07:58 PM about the 1998 Chevrolet C/K 1500 Silverado RWD

Question type: Car Customization

What would it take to put a 2003 k1500 5.3 vortex
into a 98 k1500 that had a 5.3 originally but was
swapped for a 96 5.7

1 Answer

I think I'll need the wiring harness and ecm from the 2003 and it should be plug and play. Pretty sure transmission will bolt right up.
