Default Chevy 4.3 motor swap

Ok I have come to the conclusion that I have to have more power, and this 4.3 just is not cutting it. I am looking for someone who has done this before and was wondering if they would be willing to do it again. I am not mechanicly inclinded nor do I have the tools or experience to do this kind of job. I live in Oklahoma and would like to see if someone would be willing to do this. I am willing to pay just let me know what is up.

Which setup are you looking at going with? I put a 6.0 and 4l80e. Will be adding a cam and longtubes shortly and call it done.

Oh dude you are a life saver! I am most likley going to do a 5.3 swap if anything for the simple fact of not having to replace the tranney. Would it be possible for you to help me figure out everything I need and all the little stuff in between

I would like to do the 5.3 swap if possible. Less work, less time spent and it will be cheaper I really don't wanna replace the tranny since i already have some work done to it.
