im thinkin bout swappin out the 5.3 to a 6.0. If anyone has done this could you help me out. And also what mods to do to the engine while ive got it out. Im wantin 400+. -99 silverado/5.3/Hypertech power programmer/k&n 77 series/heddman shorties/poweraid throttle body spacer

 

Pull out the 5.3 drop in the 6.0 done. Everything from the 5.3 is a direct bolt on. Do headers etc if you want. Get a custom tune done and put the hypertech programmer in the trashcan.

Welcome aboard and search a lot of questions there are tons of old posts that may help you out on other topics

 

what bout head work or anything?

 

6.0 swap, a Radix, and a tune will get you over 400 RWHP for 4K or less if you go used and look for good deals.

 

get a nice (not to big)cam and some ported heads.. with some headers, WITH A GOOD TUNE and it should be somewhere close to 400 at the wheels..

i put down 364/374 with a cam only 6.0 LQ4...

 

cam, headers, some ported heads, and full bolt on u will smile ear to ear

 

Heads or work stock heads, cam, headers, 150 shot, rod & main bolts, Radix & fly like the wind

 

This is truth. I just did mine over the weekend.

 

Engine swaps are not hard, I just finished my 4th one in 5 months

 

Damn ballah!!! Its a lot easier to do than most think. Its just a paint in the tail when you have to have it done start to finish and running again in 2 days.
