Alright, I know this has to have been answered before but I spent some time searching through a few threads and couldn't find what I was looking for.

I am getting ready to do a 5.3 to 6.0 motor swap.

This motor will start out as a short block, sit for a while until I acquire some heads, then I will throw it in. I am going to use ALL of the accessories off of my 5.3. What I plan on doing is pulling the motor out of the truck, swap over all the accessories to the new one, and then slapping the new one where it needs to go.
What kind of gaskets am I going to need to replace?
Which parts will I inevitably need to replace?
What parts am I going to have to rent? (already planning on PS puller, crank pulley puller, fuel line disconnect, cherry picker thing)

Is there a good how-to on this?

Thanks for the help. When it gets closer to swap time, I'll post a thread in the Southern Section about getting people to get together and help out.

 

You are gonna need everything you had this past week, an engine stand is always nice, a cherry picker (engine hoist), a full tube of RTV gasket maker, new headbolts, new gaskets and a partridge in a pear tree.....oh yea and lotsa beer. You have a pm.

 

Shoot me a PM when you get ready to do it I have EVERYTHING to do a swap and good air tools.

 

that sounds awesome, Cody, (is it?) I will shoot you and several others a PM. I plan on buying an engine stand already because the short block is going to need somewhere to sit, and renting the rest of that ****.
