Default 8.1 Swap

Would swapping an 8.1 liter engine into a half ton Silverado be considerably harder then say a 6.0 liter. What would be involved?

Basicallly no body on this forum has done it yet, Mainly because of the low aftermaket support. Can be done though.

I will find more on different products this spring. Might make a ram jet conversion for my truck, have to see, got to figure out some costs first.
