What would it take to convert a 5.3L to a 6.0L?
Example is if i bought a 02' scsb 5.3L and i want to make it a 6.0L would would i have to do? Also would the 4L60E be ok..or will it need some upgrades? Sorry for the newb q <img src="gr_stretch.gif" border="0">

 

to go from 5.3L to 6.0L ur pretty much just gonna need a new short block. u may be able to keep your crank since its the same stroke, and then by everything else you would need (block, pistons and whatnot)

 

If I were doing it from scratch, I would buy a V6 truck. Get a 6.0 block built out however I wanted and add some custom tuning. No need to pay the extra $$$ for the 5.3 if you are taking it out.

 

I disagree, the perfect pick is the 4.8 truck. Get the wiring and all, yet you don't pay the 5.3 prices!

What, no pics of Spot's dog turds in the garage? <img src="gr_grin.gif" border="0">
It looks like everything is coming together nicely. Did you take any pics of Joseph hitting you with the new cam? I heard you have .535" of knot on your head. <img src="graemlins/gr_punch.gif" border="0" alt="[fight]" />
Try not to take anymore pics of Joseph lubing stuff up. Neil might have to get a new keyboard then. <img src="gr_tounge.gif" border="0">
