don't put a 305 in your truck. Lots of guys have put 4.8/5.3/6l engines in your body truck. you can buy off the shelf parts for most of the swap: harness, headers, ect
I would just buy a 5.3. It will have alot more power than a 305 vortec.
Now with doing a 4.8, 5.3, or a 6.0 I would like to improve on fuel mileage.
IMHO the 5.3 will get better gas mileage and be more reliable. PLUS they have more power. Many people on this site have done the swap. Tons of info on here
What thread are you guys talking about for the conversion????
Use the search button. You will find many swaps
Where to start and what to expect all depends on your mechanical and electrical background.
