Another 6.0 Swap Thread...

Hey guys,

I'm new to LS1Truck.com forums and am sorry to bring up a probably worn out topic, but as of yet I haven't been able to find the answers to these questions...

HELP!

I just bought a brand new 04 Silverado Standard Cab 2 Wheel Drive with 5.3L.

I want to in the end have a Turbo Charged 6.0L in the vehicle. I've tried to get ahold of Parish, but he's sooooo busy spankin' peoples asses with his truck that I can't really get ahold of him. So any help you can provide would be great.

Here are some questions I have....

1) Do I have to swap trannies? Does the 4L65E Bolt to the 6.0 and handle the extra power? Or do I need to Swap to the 4L80E?

2) Will the 5.3L Harness and computer plug up to the new 6.0?

3) Since this will be a turbocharged vehicle I obviously want a little lower compression. I've heard that the LQ4 is 9.2:1 C/R and that the LQ9 is 10.5:1 C/R.

If that is true I want the LQ4 based solely on the compression, but at the same time is it true that the LQ9 has better heads (as in closely resembling Z06 Corvette Heads) ?

4) Could Somebody post that list of everything needed to do this swap?

It would be greatly appreciated.

Looking forward to your input.

If you guys have any other ideas please let me know.

Thanx!
