I have been wanting a 6.0l and the stronger 4l80E. I posted this in the lounge but didn't get any responses. Here the ? what would the above listed drivetrain got for? AND What is the going price on a 6.0L and 4l80E setup?? Kinda off a general question but if you have done this swap already and have some figures($$$$$) for just the swap and no "mods" give a holla too!!

I have a 5.3 for sale with 15,000 on it.

 

Know of any 6.0L FS??

 

There's a short block available in "Da Classifieds".

What sorta power are you wanting that necessitates a 4L80E anyway? A fully build 4L60E can hold 400-600rwhp typically.

Besides 75K mi isn't too much so I'd really mod the crap out of the 5.3 before making the switch. Long tubes, full exhaust, ASPs, air intake, cam, rockers, ported heads, etc.

 

I would normally do that but I am looking for more weight from this setup plus the added power. I do a lot of rock crawling and this is my tow rig so the extra torque and weight of the 6.0 and 4l80E are a plus here. The thing being is I will not buy a shortblock that is rebuilt due to bad experinces in the past, so a assembled short block is out of the question. Plus I don't have the extra $$$ to be purchasing rockers, porting heads,pistons,shift kits, buliding trannies, ect, ect... You get the point. This is my DD so the swap needs to be done in a weekend and the 6.0L is a drop in upgrade. You don't actually need to open the motor. Thanks for the info though!!

 

if you get a hold of JJsSS (pm him) he owns a gm salvage yard and has a few
6.0s lying around.
but were in Pittsburgh, PA so shipping might just be a little pricey dunno
