Where??? I'd take a pullout 4L65E for a G!!

 

I just did the 6.0L swap thing and CANNOT BELIEVE the difference. My 5.3 ran strong, but this 6.0L is a BadMofo, no joke.

 

Funny how many 4.8 guys defended then until they went 6.0 I went with a 1K 65e pull out 4x4 5miles,send me $100 and I will line you out.a bird dog fee you know.

 

I would but i checked and it will fubar me on the emission crap we have here, I might be able to get away with it, but i cant take the chance...

 

yeah its a 5.3 already, just hydrolocked it and broke a rod, tranny slips a little, found this stuff at a dismantler/garage an acquaintance of mine runs...planning on rebuilding the motor (no block damage thank goodness) with a cam and some other stuff, and the tranny, and maybe sticking it in a s-10 or something equally small and picking on some local rice and such...

 

they will never know. the motor will look exactly like your 5.3. no emmissions will catch it

 

maybe, but its not just a visual, like i said, i could probably get away with it, but i cant take the chance. I am probably gonna sell it when i get it fixed anyway... anybody interested in a 2001 silverado 1500 ecsb ls with 123000 on the odo. but 43000 on the motor and tranny, with a new 3.73 and Auburn posi? I owe more than its really worth but it would take about 11,500 to pay it off... and after putting this into it i cant let it go for less than that

 

If they look at the block they WILL know. It is stamped on it in a couple of places. THe 4.8/5.3 are the sameblock but the 6.0 is stamped 6.0L. Emisions wise they may or may not be able to tell.

 

Yeah they can tell if they take the accessorie bracket off since thats where it is stamped with 6.0L which they arent going to do

You can see it in this pick here


Its stamped on the back of the block too but thats covered by the bellhousing.

 

You can get a brand new LQ9 come with pretty much everything from dealer for about $4,000 and it comes with a 12k/1yr warranty or you can upgrade the warranty to a 36 month warranty for about $500 more.

A factory replacement 5.3L will cost you about $3,500 from the dealer.
