2001 Chevy Tbi engine swap
My dad and I have a 2001 1500 4.3 Tbi and we want to do a motor swap. What would be the best option. It's not the first swap I've done. But I haven't done computer to computer before.

Wouldn't you guys say it'd probably be easiest to pull the ECM/wiring harness out of a truck with a 5.3/6.0?
If it were me, i'd definitely go for a 6.0 if you can find one. What is your budget on the build?
A full takeout motor with everything you need will likely be the way to roll...so you get an alternator, harness, ecu, etc.
If you can swing it, an L92 is the cats ***. Rectangular port heads flow big numbers.

What are your goals with it, and what's your budget? Without knowing either of those it's hard for anybody to make a helpful recommendation.
