Well im fixin to start puttin the 6.0 together...all i need is oil pump, timing chain, head bolts, and injectors....i was wanderin if i needed to buy new accessories...i plan to use alot of them from my 5.3 like alternator and water pump...should i buy new ones? and what about coil packs? im assuming i can just take every accessory i need off of the 5.3 and stick it on the 6.0 is this a good idea? thanks!

 

Keep all your 5.3 accessories. No need to buy new ones. Your coil packs are fine.

 

thats what i figured....thanks

 

The water pump is pretty easy to get to, so unless you have 100K plus, I wouldn't consider changing it out.

When you swap the motor, you can pull the alt/ps bracket off to the side, as well as the a/c compressor. We didn't even have to pull the radiator to get my 4.8 out! Good luck with the swap...can't wait to drive mine!
