Ive seen a couple threads on v6 to v8 swaps. Im looking for a detailed write-up of a 5.3 to 6.0. I have used the search button (haters). Can someone post a link or share the basics?

 

 

5.3 to 6.0 swap is the same as a 5.3 to 5.3 swap...the blocks are externally identical. All you need is computer tuning for the 6.0. Reuse the intake, accessories, harness, PCM, etc from the original engine and you'll be fine.

 

Ive read that i have to swap flex plates from the 5.3 over to the 6.0. Anybody with a 6.0 swap in houston willing to chime in?

 

That's correct, use the flex plate that came off of you're 5.3

 

thanks for the help

 

does the above apply to a 4.8 to 6.0 swap, use 4.8 flex plate, ect.

 

Yup.
