4x4 shouldn't make a difference...I know that there are a few different 6.0's available. This link has some info: https://ls1tech.com/forums/showthrea...ight=6.0+motor

I'm curious about the electronics and PCM...will everything swap right over? (6.0 swap is starting to sound) like a good idea to me too, especially after my crappy dyno #'s this weekend.

the electronics and everything swaps over, it will run good, but with a nice custom tune, it will run even better.

Everything. Wiring Harness, PCM, Injectors, Intake Manifold, Throttle Body. You know...Everything transferres.

oh cool, is that a hard job transfering over that stuff? and would it be easier to just get a complete lq4

Best money I ever spent(4.8L to 6.0L) Went from a 15.4 to a 12.5 in a matter of days. Save on the complete motor and just use your stock accessories. I got my 6.0L for $950. It's all the other crap that starts adding up fast.
