Ok, i have searched awhile, here and other forums, all ive found is very old and incomplete answered questions. I plan on swapping a 6.0 into my 4.8 2010 silverado. I would rather use a 2007 and older 6.0, mainly cause cost is less. But my question is will these engines of that time period even work? If so is there a write up somewhere that someone can direct me to that i have over looked? or maybe someone can just enlighten me here, thanks alot.

All depends on how old. If its a 24x crank engine then no as your truck uses a 58x crank trigger and there isnt a conversion box for that. Only conversion box out right now is to run a 58x engine in a 24x crank truck. (99-07 classic) you can swap cranks out tho or have the crank trigger wheel swapped out to a 58x. Other then that won't work.

I'm doing the swap next week.. Should be pretty simple... My ly6 came out a vortex max.. So plug and play... If you get it from a van.. You have do some minor

Yours is plug and play as you are using a newer 6.0 I think he is talking about swapping out a older lq4/lq9 6.0 into his newer truck. Which I that case not plug and play.

Idk, it's frustrating.. I can find older 6.8's cheap(pre 07). I wonder what a 58x 4.8 crank in a 6.0 would do? Haha

Fat thumbs meant 6.0 not 6.8
