Default What can I use off my 4.8?

If I were to get a 6.0 long block what would be transferable over from a complete 4.8?

if you'd do a little searching. . . . everything, but the long block, other than that everything swaps over.

now if it's a 99-00 block, then stay away from it.

all that you're doing is swaping long blocks, nothing else . . . .

So the 4.8s injectors a enough to feed the LQ9 and it will be getting all the mods from my 4.8.
