I have found a good low mile LB7 minus the turbo and was thinking of swapping out the LB7 heads/injectors and lines, a few electronic sensors with LBZ heads and electronics and a LBZ turbo. I'm thinking this should be a very simple swap over and would be able to get a truck back up and going fairly easily.
Yes the LB7 is of a 17.5 cp ratio compared to the LBZ 16.8 and the LBZ rods are thought to be a bit better than the LB7 rods. Has any one been able to physically prove the LBZ rod are better?? I am not concerned with a EGR system as that will be removed/reworked.
Just trying to see what hiccups you guys might see in this set up...
