What do I need to know about doing a swap into an 06 silverado 1500 as far as a vin and stuff goes or can I just buy any 6.0 engine and tranny combo and drop it in

buy it and drop it in

Is that a good motor to build up for boost or is there another option

4.8 5.3 6.0 are all great engines for boost!!

They are the same dimensions outside, so they all interchange easy.

The only things needed for say going from a 4.8 to 6.0 will be tuning and possibly injectors unless you buy a complete 6.0 .


Very easy swap.

LQ4 and LQ9 are both 6L engines the only difference is the LQ9 has flat top pistons and i believe better rods. Generally the dished pistons of the LQ4 is better for boost because of the lower compression

So will a 4.8 to 6.0 swap use the same wire harness and computers? So will u just need a motor with heads and intake, no accessories?
