    Does/Did your 16 have the 8L90? I?m interested in doing an L8T swap and curious. My 16 Silverado has the 8L90 and wondering if the L8T will mate up to it or do I need to go with a 6L90?

    I?ll post some results here after, adding kook longtubes
    Will my harness need any modifications?

    Got the truck running now and have no regrets! the L8t swap was super easy. Did not need to change the valley plate, did brake pump delete, oil level sensor harness that was it, used all my original l86 intake throttle body,water pump.
    Kook long tubes into 3.5 inch exhaust, stage 3 BTR cam, stock converter for now.

    Thanks for the share, how did you go about unlocking the ECU?

    Nice, are you using stock harness and ECU?

    Also was curious what was involved with brake pump delete?

    When swapping did you run l86 fuel system or l8t?
