I am shopping around for a new RCSB and all i can find are V6s. Is it fairly easy to swap in a 6.0l in place of a 4.3? The 6.0l im looking at getting comes w/ everything including accesories, ECM, exh. manifolds, etc...

 

You are better off with a high milege truck in excellent cosmetic condition with a 4.8. I am sure you can get something like that for under 10K.

 

I think im going to end up trading my car in, and i think i won't get screwed as bad on a new one. I may end up going w/ an ECSB if the V6 swap is too much $$ or if i can't find a v8.

 

yes, the swap will cost alot, you have to swap PCM and msot of the wiring andn tranmission crap and this and that. now if youbought one with a 4.8 the swap would be easy and all you would need is the engine. everything else would jsut plug in and be done.

 

alright, thanks for the info. ill keep on searching then. (I didn't know how rare the RCSB w/ V8s were until now)

 

try getting one with a stick! there were absolutely none in existance when i went to go buy mine. i had to order it and wait 2 months for it to come from the factory
