Default 5.3 to 8.1 question

Most of you know im looking for burban because you cant get the 8100 in a tahoe. well long story short friend ask why not buy a real high milage taho and do the motor swap with a built trans. I mean 03-04 models are hitting the auction with 160-180K miles already. Not sure how you put that many miles on one but they are out there.

So my question is can you jump that much with out having problems? Where do you get it tuned? etc etc...

So what are you thoughts on this?

too much work for what it's worth. i'd rather buy a tahoe and put a 408 in it than swap in a 496.
