I'm not mechanically inclined at all so I would have to have someone swap the engines for me. 4.8 to 6.0. Thanks!

It don't take anything to swap to a 6.0. it can be done in a day i wouldn't ever that much to have some one else do it. of course i won't pay for anybody to do anything to my vehicles.
