vortec 4.8 or some other engine? Please help....
 
hey sup guys? I have a 2005 single cab Silverado 4.8 4wd 5spd ok and I'm not sure if I should stick with my engine or swap it?:confused: What are the recommended engines for my application? are the mods going to affect the 4WD? I go offroading occasionally, but most of the time in the city. Moreover, I don't go to the track, and this truck is my daily driver. Please give me your thoughts and suggestions. Thanks in advance.

Wow. Big post. Lol.

What are your goals? What do you like, what don't you like? Tire size? Budget? Trans preference?
