6.0 swap???
#1
Ok Now Let Me Get The Low Down On This Swap. What All Do I Have To Do To Get This Done . I Have A 4.3 V6 And I Want To Put In A 6.0. Now How Hard Is This? Is The Wiring A Pain In The ***. And How Much Down Time And Money?? Help Would Be Great.
Thanks Seth

You will have to buy or fabricate some motor mounts, assuming GM did not the change motor mounts on the V6, you will need a different tranny, new computer and harness, radiator, fuel pump and a lot of little stuff to get it running. Time could take up to 6 months to a year. Money wise you will be better off buying a RCSB with a 4.8 and dropping a 6.0L in it, since the 4.8 and 6.0 are pretty much the same engine, just a different setting in the ECM.
