GM Gen III/IV V8 5.3 Scout II
Here's some of the info on the Gen III 5.3 swap into a International Scout II. It might help with other vehicles as well.
This info covers the GM Gen III V8's: Vortec 4.8/5.3/6.0/6.2 and LS1/2/3/6/7/9. And is by no means complete It's just a guide and info for the cost benefit analysis for anybody thinking about the swap. RPO codes for Gen III/IV LS1,2,3, LQ4/9 etc... The list is for a Gen III truck engines. But the LS engines are the same basic engines. GEN III GM ENGINE SWAP INTO SCOUT II INFO 1) EXHAUST You will need stock F-body LS1 Camaro exhaust manifolds 1998-2002. The stock trucks will not fit the frame they kick out at the exhaust flange! I got mine for free a local shop had thrown them in a dumpster because they said they did not need them. Check E-bay, or locally. Don't pay more than 100 bucks more like 50 bucks for both! Oh, size at least dual 2.5'' back with a cross-over fwd of the transmission with (insert your mufflers here). Single exhaust will work I would do 2.5'' to muffler than a single 3'' or 3.5'' out. As for headers Longtubes are the way to go. But since nobody makes longtubes for the scout swap. I have been looking at some Jeep LT's for GEN III swaps in those they may fit with out mods. I have yet to see if they will fit though. UPDATE: Having yet tried I believe a set of F-body long tubes 98-2002 might fit. 2)VSS The computer needs a Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS) signal for shifting the 4L60E and to get the motor to idle right in certain conditions. If running a manual trans you need some type of VSS for the ECM as well for better economy and idle. The stock location for the VSS is in the transfer case on 4x4's. It uses the VSS for the computer and speedo. Options are the 1990 to 1991 NP241 right drop with VSS but you may have to change the ring and the sensor to the late model stuff just check to see if it has the 40 tooth ring on it. Just make sure that VSS is at the end of what ever gear reduction you have of the engine may idle funny and the trans not shift right when in low range! VSS information The engine can be tuned to run without a VSS but I wouldn't recommend it expect for off road use only. As it reduces and fuel mileage. 3) Fuel The engine needs 60psi give or take to run. I made a custom tank out of Aluminum for the stock scout location and used the stock gm intank pump and sender truck pump for the same year as the motor. I had to shorten the sender float so it would fit the tank and read correctly. I wanted a little more than the stock 19 gals but the 33 gal is to big so the tank holds 25 gals. Options are a external pump mounted low on the frame rail with a return from the engine to the tank. The 2005 up truck fuel rails use a return less fuel system like the LS1 do, so you need a regulator like the Vette fuel/regulator or stock fuel sender. In the stock returnless fuel systems for the trucks the regulator is in the tank with the pump and sender. On the earlier truck manifolds just run a filter and a return line. Summit sells slip on fitting adapters to connect the rail to AN fittings. 4) Emissions I don't run any kind of emissions on my engine. So if your state says you do than you most run cats and EGR valve. But if not than you can cap the EGR valve at the intake and exhaust and remove the valve on pre 03 engines the later engines don't have EGR on certain models. And I don't run cats or a purge canister for the gas tank. You most have some one remove the emissions codes in the computer or the check engine light will be on. O2 sensors the stock truck has four two in front of the cats (you need these) and Two behind the cats (can be removed and code turned off). The computer just uses those two behind the cat to see if the cats are working or not. 5) Cooling I bought a universal Chevy style radiator from summit that fits the scout opening. I modified the stock GM truck hoses to fit the rad. There is a small hose than goes into the stock rad and a heater for the throttle body I removed for a cooler air intake. It Uses this to prevent throttle ice in cold air but round here it doesn't get that cold. Also on the LS motors you can cap the rear lines and just use the front steam ports. Fan I use an Electric fan because I mounted the engine low and the stock gm fan is to low plus the e-fan doesn't steal horse power! I also run a trans cooler and oil cooler under the AC evap. 6) Computer and wiring I used the stock computer and had it modified with HPtuners to work for what I needed. It's reprogrammed for performance. You will have to go in to the computer and defeat the anti theft software (VATS) so the engine will run in the scout. VATS uses the stock gm ignition switch to tell if it's in the right truck or not! For wiring I interfaced the stock gm harness to my own home made harness for the dash with auto meter gauges. I also put a check engine light (yellow LED) in the dash and put an OBD II plug under the dash so I can plug up My laptop. Options are to interface the gm harness with painless universal. I would recommend pulling all stock scout wires if the are the original old ones not worth a fire! I will try to compile a list of codes to turn off and make a harness interface guide as to what pins do what from the computer I have see them on line but A good shop manual for the gm stuff as wire prints in them. Oh you must also wire the brake light switch up so the torque converter will lock and unlock. I also used the stock Gm Neutral safety backup light switch on the trans at the shift lever. Also if you get the under hood GM fuse block as well as the TAC box and gas petal, this will make swaps easier for DBW TB. Basically what can be removed or not needed -EGR: mounts in front of pass. head with a tube running from the exhaust manifold to the valve then into the intake behind the TB. This for 03 and earlier motors mostly. -canister purge valve/lines: These run from the charcoal canister to a valve above the drivers valve cover then into the intake on top. -Cats: catalytic converters you don't need them. -Rear O2's: These are mounted behind the cats (2 each) and tell the PCM if the cats are working or not. you don't need these. -Oil level sensor: It's on the pass. of oil pan. You can jumper the wires in the harness at that plug. I usually leave it hooked up. -TB heater: Coolant tubes in the TB that move coolant through the TB to heat it. Just remove the lines from the TB and reconnect underneath it. The harness can be reworked to remove these things and make it for a 3 or 4 wire hook up to the vehicle. Then have the PCM tuned to remove what you don't need. Sensor locations (Gen III truck motor) -MAP is on top of the intake, towards the rear. -Knock sensors are under the intake but the connector is just to the driver side of the MAP sensor on the intake. (Gen IV motors are on the each side of the block) -Coolant temp is in the front of the driver side cylinder head. -Oil pressure is right next to the Cam sensor at the back block behind the intake. -Low oil level mounted on the pass or oil pan -EVAP purge solenoid The cylinder sticking out of the intake right in back of the throttle body is the EVAP purge solenoid. -TPS and IAC are on the cable throttle body. IAC on top. DBW TB has no IAC. -MAF and IAT are combined in the MAF located on the intake tube. -Cam sensor Back of the block on Gen III motors and is mounted on the front of the timing cover on Gen IV motors. -Crank Trigger Located on pass. of block inboard of the starter. Gen III motors are 24x wheel and Gen IV are 58x wheel (save for the early LS2's 05-06 these were Gen IV motors with E40 ECM and 24x wheel's). Black color is 24x reluctor and grey one is 58X reluctor DBW components The TAC module has two connections, one for the pedal harness..other hooks into main engine harness there are two styles the 9-pin connector the later ones are 6-pin. TAC modules have to match up to the year range of the PCM AND the throttle body. 03-05 TAC module works with 03-05 truck TB and 03-05 PCM (BLUE/GREEN connectors) 01-02 TAC module works with 01-02 truck TB, 97-04 Vette TB, and 01-02 PCM (BLUE/RED connectors). 03-05 TAC modules have an aluminum mounting base, 01-02 TAC modules are all black plastic including the mounting base. 7) Engine mounts I used Advance Adapters universal small block Gen I adapters and weld to the frame and adapted the engine mount to fit the gen III with a plate. I was to lazy to make my own mount the AA stuff is great. The Gen I motors have Three mount holes on the side of the block. The GEN III has four. I weld a steel plate to their mount and used one hole and weld the rest to the plate and drilled the other holes and bolted all four holes to the engine, GRADE 8 Metric bolts are a must. I custom made the trans mount with a hump fro the front shaft. 8) Driveshafts I used JB conversion slip yoke eliminator on the transfer case I run a cv front and rear. The rear shaft will be short with out the SYE like 24 inches but I gained 6 inches in the SYE conversion. Custom shaft rear and stock 86 blazer front lengthened a little. 9) Air conditioner I used the stock gm 99 air compressor and adapted it to work with the scout stuff the compressor fits with just enough room to bolt the hoses on. I had to bend the stock hose to the run them right than adapt them to the IH stuff with adapters. it could still be use as trail air if you don't need the AC. Note the later Gen IV E38/E40/E67 ECM's won't control the a/c system. SO it to needs to be standalone if using 2007-up motor. 10)Intakes The truck intake flow the same as the LS1 car and offers better low end over the car one. The LS6 flows better than the trucks but not enough to be worth swapping it out. The aftermarket FAST etc. flow really well but are expense! You can upgrade to a TBSS LS2 90mm TB truck intake or an LS2 90mm as well. The new L92 and L76/LS3 intakes will only fit the L92/LS3 square intake ports and won't fit the Gen III heads. Also the DBW intakes are alittle different than the cable ones as well with the PCV locations. 11)Heads There are lots of choices now. From ported to stock. Stockers: The 317 stock 6.0L heads are based on the LS6 243 and flow pretty good. The 799 heads are basically 243. The L92 head will only fit a 4'' bore motor and will only work with L92/LS3 intake because of the different intake ports. YOu can add 243 to a 5.3l but it will increase CR as well. Then newer 5.3l actually come with 243 heads now. 12)Oil Pans There are several stock pans to choice from for your application. LSx oil pans pictures and dimensions. 13)Transmissions The Gen III/IV engine share the same SBC trans patterns as the early V8. So any SBC TH350/400/700r4 or Gen I 4l60 and 4l80 trans will bolt right up. You just need to correct flex plate and spacers for the earlier SBC trans. A spacer supports the torque converter nose. AND YES THAT'S THE WAY IT GOES!!! Some have even not even used the spacer. But, like i said it's to support the converter center. TECH: Gen III/IV "LS motor" to Auto Trans The Gen III converters for the 4l60 have a large center section than the Gen I and hence the dish. The spacers on the crank themselves are for the 4l80's with the 6.0ls behind them with flat flex plates. 4l80 converter Note the middle used with flat flexplate and spacer on the crank 4l60 Gen I/ 4.3L smaller center hub ![]() 4l60/65/70 Note the larger center hub for the dished flex plate! ![]() Spacer from GM parts direct or local dealer GM PART # 12563532 CATEGORY: Engine Flywheel PACK QTY: 1 CORE CHARGE: $0.00 GM LIST: $52.86 OUR PRICE: $31.34 BOLTS GM PART # 12563533 CATEGORY: All PACK QTY: 1 CORE CHARGE: $0.00 GM LIST: $6.86 OUR PRICE: $4.06 The later model 2007 trucks using the E38/E67 ECM's use a separate TCM for all transmissions. So you will need the TCM for the 4l65/70 and the 4l80 as well. GM did this because they need the new ECM to control things like VVT and AFM and the transmission controls really limit the computing power so they separated them. The new 6l80/90 will work, the TCM is internal to these, but the limiting factor with these is they require a 58x relutor wheel and new E38/E67 ECM controller. So these are only options for the Gen IV's now. Till some one makes a standalone for the TCM inside the trans. LINKS LS1Tech GEN III INFO The Gm engine Gen IV Vortec L92 6.2L /L76 6.0L and LS2/3/7. The basic difference's of the new motors are the placement of the knock sensors on the side of the block, a 4x cam sensor mounted in the front of the cam now, some have VVT, AFM, and a 58x reluctor wheel (crank trigger). These engines are the same as the Gen III save for these changes and most parts inter change from both family's.

Basically just using that as an example with out to much detail. Actually I have heard of people using the adavnced adapters VSS that goes between the transfer case and trans and having problems when being in four low and idle and cawling cause of the gear reduction and not in park.

The pinouts for the computer change depending on what year LSX motor it is, and fbody and vette are way different than the pickups...just fyi for those looking into such a swap.

I just picked up a LQ9 off ebay. Its from an 02 Escalade and came with the
4L60E. THe motor is rated at 345hp and 380tq. You did a nice wright up. Have you got the rig running yet? If so how does it feel? Does it make the scout get with it?

Actually I talked to a guy at Lynn's auto salvage in Conway that sells wrecks complete to the public. I was going to buy a whole truck. Take what I need than part the rest out. But they didn't have what I needed. He said he knew some one selling a whole 5.3. So I bought it for 500 bucks engine cover to oil pan.
I know you should be able to get a 5.3 complete with harness less computer for around 600-800 bucks (milage depends on price) with out PCM as well from Sunny's out salvage in J-ville. If not there is a place called cores inc. out Hwy 294 in furlow that sells longblocks Gen III's for like 300 bucks (if he has them haven't checked lately) but they need rebuild. And you have to make sure it's a 5.3 first! Then rebuild and buy the parts you need off e-bay as well but it adds up quickly.

Actually there are no signs on the place and the guy works behind his house. And just sells the stuff for scrap. I have gotten some stuff from him. I don't know the address as that's the only way to find it.

Trans Mount
First, Bo185, great post, It really has helped a lot, and helped me make the decsion to go with the Gen III that much easier. Thank you.
I'm about to put a 2003 Gen III engine in my '75 Scout, and I was wondering what did you use for the transmission mount? Did you use the drive by wire throttle or swith to a cable throttle? A couple of questions for anyone. I want to go with new front bucket seats and I would like to know what seats work. Has any one installed power seats and windows? Thank you. Pete |

I am trying to replace the 5.3L with a 6.0L for more power! I used the cable, you can use the stock IH pedal and a universal cable. But I been thinking about switching to the Drive by wire for the cruise control, the DBW would be easier to use than a cable. The problem is the stock GM truck DBW pedal is shaped wrong for the Scout. I haven't yet tried to look for the correct one. But their are alot of options. Might take you stock IH pedal, for the shape, to a wrecker and look at a vette pedal, or maybe a trailblazer, I think the pedal plugs are all the same. I am trying to fight silverado buckets and have seen the installed in a Scout before. Mine are power and have built in seat belts. The Silverado seats are wide and you will need to modify the hump to get them installed correctly.
