The Patrol - Phase II

[mudtoy67]

GM SC 3800 V6. I'll make you a good deal.

Dont be a *****...8.1!

Got the drivetrain out last night. At a junkyard in Holland TX right now picking up a 2002 Escalade 6.0... It was only $200 more than the truck 6.0's and makes 345 hp rather than 300. Higher compression ratio and flat top pistons on the Escalade engines!

The old (which is for sale I believe)

Wow, about 6 times the power the patrol used to make, should be fun.

So what's the plan as far as transmission and transfer case? 3 speed stak since it's better than Lynda's?

[redcagepatrol]

4L60E tranny and either an Atlas or Stak case. I don't need anything 3sp with an auto...

[redcagepatrol]

I cleaned up the engine today (removed harness, hoses, stuff I won't use, and degreased several times) after I got home, pulled a valve cover and took a peak - all looks good!

Now i just need a tranny and t-case to start mocking things up.

Sweet!

shiney.....

[RCcola55]

who is gonna do the harness and tune?

[redcagepatrol]

Not me! Harness by FIS and program by FlemCo?

[robertf03]

send everything to fis

i don't know how to do new stuff and all my tuning stuff is in moving boxes

[redcagepatrol]

That's what I did with Lynda's and is what I was going to do here too. I've considered other out of state companies to avoid the sales tax.

Ed could send you the EFI live and for the $100 vin license you could tune the computer yourself.

[redcagepatrol]

so - some are curious as to what that engine cost - I'm going to keep track of my costs on this project and let everyone know the total bill.

any guesses?

The engine was $1400 plus tax. I also picked up a AFM for $50, my bill was a little under $1500 with tax.

The engine included the AC, Alternator, PS (typical), Starter, harness, and ECM. (the AC comp run $400 at the part store, the Alts run $150, starters are like $200)

$1500 engine
$200 tranny + ? adapter and upgrades
$2300 t-case
$400 radiator
$200 air filter and small pully
$200 Spal fans
$200 fuel pump and filter
$800 harness and ECM redo
$300 F-body oil pan conversion
$200 AN fittings for fuel
$200 new gas tank?
$150 oil for eng, tranny, t-case
$400 driveshaft mods and parts

So - as you can see - this will add up pretty quick - I'll tally it up when I'm done so everyone understands what it takes to do this kind of swap.
