I'm just curious.
I found a local guy selling a Gen IV 6.0 short block for pretty short money.

Would this be a direct bolt in?
Are all the sensors in the same location?
Do the 5.3 and 6.0 have the same tooth count reluctor wheel?

I'm going to be doing a DOD delete and figured I could put the work into the 6.0 and just pull the 5.3. I'll be able to be a little more thorough with the engine out to.

 

A true Gen IV will have a 58X crank wheel and a 4x Cam sensor.

You would need a Lingenfelter conversion box If you have a Gen III truck set up. TRG-002 Conversion Box

What would you be putting it in?

 

I'm sorry, I forgot to mention that.
It would be going in an 07 Tahoe.

I should have wrote Gen IV 5.3 to Gen IV 6.0 swap.

 

Then, Yes. It should be a drop and swap.

 

That is what I wanted to hear

Thanks 1Fast, I appreciate it.

 

No problem!

 

Once I get it home, I'll throw a few pics up. Cause everyone loves pics.
