If I were you Id skip the 5.7 idea and go with a 5.3 its a better motor. You will need the engine wire harness. ANd the computer to make it work but should plug right in with out major alterations. Check your local craigslist or ebay should find plenty of people selling 5.3 complete engines and computers. Parts are available everywhere. Double check to make sure your tranny will bolt up but Im guessing you have a 4L60E which will bolt right up. Good luck!
