    Just Finished My 4.8 to 6.0 swap

    It went really well just reused my 4.8 intake and fuel rail took me a total of about 18 hours because i had to do it by myself but was well worth it truck hauls now. one quick question are the injectors the same size between those engines?

    I am only 19 and i could do it. it pretty simple just alot of wires i took my intake of so i could get to the connections in the back and bellhousing bolt its just alot of wires you have to mess with. if you have basic tools and knowledge of trucks you should be able to do it. and as far as problems the only one i had was the fuel rail and intake having a vacum line or something going to the regulator on the fuel line. so i just used my intake and fuel rails off my 4.8.
