5.3 swap in OBS Chevy c1500 w/ TR220 cam

5.3l L59 DBW swap into my '91 2WD RCSB walkaround with it idling. Tried to get the sound of the cam but the sound sucks on this camera.
Mods:
4L80E
TR220 cam - .220 .220 .556 .556 112LSA
Z06 valve springs
RevMax 2800rpm stall converter
Schoenfeld LT Headers
Nelson tuned
Old Flowmaster muffler
(it has an engine cover from a 6.0l too)

Truck needs a lot of work still - paint, body, wheels, tires, suspension, etc but this is the start of the transformation.

hey how do you do the wiring on the conversion? I have a 93 1500 and i found a 5.3 for 500.00 with 117,ooo on it out of a 2000 suburban. I'm very mechanicaly, but just not that up to date on wiring. any advice would be greatly appr.

@gearheadhuff There's not really a way to put it simply. You just have to pull out your diagrams and dispose one by one the wires you dont need. Then add a fuse block and fuse the the systems that need to be like igntion coils, etc. Then connect your factory systems like ignition switch and fuel system.

@gearheadhuff I'm not good with wiring so I got one of my GM tech buddies to do it since hes good with wiring. You can buy one already setup for standalone for ~$450 if you dont want to mess with it.
