New member here.
I know it's been discussed, I've searched but could find info I was looking for.
I have a 2000 silverado 2wd auto 4.8 that I use daily to tow and want to swap in a 6.0
What year 6.0 would be best?
If I get the computer from 6.0 can I use it in my truck instead of reprogramming mine?
If I get the trans too would it hook up with no problems?
Thanks

 

Remove 4.8, install 6.0, get a PCM tuner to reprogram your 4.8 PCM.
Enjoy!

stay away from the 99 6.0. it has the iron heads and a long crank. wont fit your application. you are looking for 2000 to 06 blocks if i remember correctly

 

my truck is a lq4 swap truck was origenaly a 4.8 i didnt do the swap but the last owner who did it told me every thing bolted on to the lq4 with out any problems (intake manifold, exhaust manifold, all sensors & serpentine system) but did need to reprogram the 4.8 ecu

 

99 and 00 had Iron heads and the long Crank

You want 2001-2006
