I found a 6.0 out of a 2001 gmc 2500 w/48k on the engine and its complete. I need more info on 01 and earlier models not bolting up to the trans. Any help is great . I tried a search , but most of the info is directed @ 5.3 owners. Any swap tips would be great. Would I be the only one to swap to a 6.0 before I got a metal tag inthe mail?

THANKS in advance!!!

 

UMM, please!!!

 

the 4.8 and 5.3 are the same engine except stroke and the piston type and the connecting rod but everything eles is the same no diffrence in the tranny

 

You shouldn't have any trouble connecting a 6.0 to your tranny. I've done one from a 5.3 to a LQ9.

 

First mod for the new truck!!!

 

Isnt the 2001s the last year of the longer crank??? I THINK you will need to space your crank, not 100%positive, maybe someone else will chime in

 

Nope the 01 6L I bought as a donor for my 418 had the shorter crank. Slowec, take a pic of crank and Ill tell you for sure.

 

01 and up 6.0L crank will work with your trans.

 

 

Thanks for the help guys. will the exhaust manifolds bolt up to the 4.8 stock y pipe. Has anybody keep their egr or do most block it off.
Thanks again!!!
