So I have pretty bad piston slap in my 2007 LC9. At first I was going to try and identify the bad piston, drop the pan, pull the head, and push the piston out the top and replace.....but I cant determine which piston it is. The sound resonates to much through the block. Even tried powering down coils to see of I could tell that way.......anyway I digest. Plan B
Found some motors to swap, and yes I have read the threads on the swaps, but still I still need answers/opinions, so here we go..
Option 1) $500
Can I go with a 2003 5.3 and get away with it? I know the reluctor wheel would have to be
changed. What would the computer do with no DOD (they didn't have DOD back then right?)
Option 2) $800
I am checking on a 2007 5.3. Would be a straight swap and booooring but honestly for $800 its
its not bad, and I have two other projects I need to put money into
Option 3) ~$1000
I am also checking at the same place on a 6.0. It will come with the ECM and such. From what
I've read, I have to install the knock sensors from the 5.3 and wait for my 4L60 to blow up. I
read somewhere the 6.0 had VVT and no DOD which I'l have to deal with? This true?
Option 4) ~$1000
Buy option 2 for a straight swap at $800 and slide a cam into it for the extra power I would get
with option 3
I loooove the idea of the 6.0, but like I said I have other projects that requires my headaches and money. This is my daily driver. Tows sleds to the mountains, and the car to the track a handful of times throughout the year.
Any input would be appreciated. Going to not go to bed now and lay awake thinking about my options! javascript:void(0); Fun!
