Pedistal?
Yes pedistal needs to be changed too, but honestly I figured that was already figured in with turbo swap
Pedistal?
Do not waste your time with a 6.0 IC...
Also, if it's an E99 the front cover is a little different.
The later model (2002) HPOP gasket will ruin an E99 front cover if you try to bolt the res down on it.
Dude, stop thinking. You're making this.complicated. Take everything off the 02. Alternators, starter, ps pump if you arent sure of condition and set it aside. The ac and power steering pump on the 02 can be left in the truck. Remove the batteries and lay the ac compressor in the pass.side.and the ps crap in the dr side tray.
You should have a block with a harmonic balancer and valvecovers on it. Nothing else. In fact strip both motors. Then bolt all your **** from the 02 on the 99.
Just look at like this you are stripping your old, 02 pmr motor down all the way. Then pretend you were to reverse those steps except sub the 99 block in. The valvecovers, block, and crankshaft pulley dont.care that you are bolting 02 accessories to them. It.simply doesnt matter.
Ok so let me get all this straight if its a E99 I leave 02 Harness,IDM,ECM and just drop the E99 motor in (maybe change Coolant Temp Sensor) change intake runners, spider, and Turbo.. Anything I'm missing ?
And??? There is no need to pull hpo res. Cover to change hpop. Ive done it plenty of times without pulling it.
So, because you'd encourage someone to half ass an HPOP install, I should keep my mouth shut about the difference in the front cover?
Because there's no chance that the OP will ever have to replace that gasket, and no chance that installing the gasket for the year of truck that he drives would ruin the E99 front cover?
Maybe, just maybe... He'll remember someone mentioning that, and be saved the pain of pulling the engine to swap front covers?
