What needs to be changed to swap a 5.3 in place of a 6.0L?
#11
What year is the 2500? If it's a 99-00 he will need to buy a crank spacer to bolt up to the 4L80E, as those years had a longer crank and did not use the spacer that the later years do. It will run on the 6.0 tune, but I wouldn't leave it like that permanently, so factor in the price of a tune to the swap.
