any1 swaped a 6.0l in a 88-98???
Ive had my 98 c1500 for 14 years now and I reaqly want to drop in a v8. (v6 is all i could afford when i was 20) I am debating on a 5.7 with heads and cam or a 6.0. I know the A/C compresor wont fit but i want A/C for sure. do I notch my frame or sell an arm and leg for a serpintine system that would relocate the compressor
Has any1 done this? im sure its been done a million times but has any1 on this site done this conversion? this is also my daily driver, still, so this cant be a year long project. thanx in advance

I have a 5.3 in a 1992 pickup(same dimensions as a 6.0). I have a dirty dingo bracket for my a/c, stock location high on passenger side. I know the 1998 has the compressor opposite side of mine but there is a bracket for yours that keeps it in your stock location. There is also only 10 wires you need to switch around to use the 6.0 gen 3 411 pcm on your swap. It will go right in place of your PCM.
I am building my 6.0 to put in next spring.
