Hi, I have the truck listed above Z71, that I slung a rod in over a year ago. My boyfriend and I split up not too long after that, and I have been working on it since then by myself. Long story short it has been a project for me about 1 1/2 year already. Everything I have done so far, I've learned from either word of mouth or by YouTube video. I ended up getting a Tahoe from a friend that he wrecked with the exact same motor. A 5 7 vortec. And somehow have managed to remove it from there and just yesterday I managed fo finish sitting it down in my truck and bolt on to the motor mounts. I am super excited to have made it this far. But from here I am lost. Can't find any info or videos on it and was wandering if you guys had some kind of checklist or guide you could share of what all goes back to what and what needs to be connected back up. Wires, hoses. All parts lol. I did use an older thread on here that helps so much on removing one step by step. You have no idea how much I would really appreciate it at this point, any suggestions, tips anything you could send my way. But a step by step would be awesome.
Thanks so much.

Hello,

I found 2 good videos, 1 engine install/swap in four videos but only the last 2 seem relevant.
