Small neighborhood gathering, and rain , hasn’t rained in over 5 weeks !

Now this is another extremely cool thing that ICT Billet does!! Thank you folks!! That’s extremely kind of you to do!

Hello everyone. I have a 2022 Chevy Tahoe LS, 4WD w/ 10 speed automatic. It has an L84 5.3L V8 with the dreaded DFM system. Have about 68,000 miles on her, so far running well. My question is this, which LS V8 in non AFM or DFM form will swap into my Tahoe and be compatible with the trans and electronics ? Is there a GM crate engine that would work ? I’m an old school GM guy (262-400 ci small block, 396 and up big blocks), so my familiarity with the modern offerings is limited by comparison. Just trying to plan for lifter issues down the road. I have researched the full DFM delete kits to convert my existing motor, but would like to know if there are other options.

The funky angle of the thermostat housing has always been difficult to line up with a radiator never meant to work with each other. Since I did the swap originally there’s so many more products out there to make it better. So decided to update the housing with a 90 degree one from @ictbillet and silicon hoses which should create more clearance for the charge pipe and clean up the new install.
