4.3 to 6.0

[C-WAY]

I found a 6.0 with a tranny for 1850. Comp, intake, headers included
How much will labor run you guys think?

also what other parts will I need?


v8 harness
engine mounts

what else? can you guys help me out?

do I need the rear end now?

the 6.0 is more of an animal than the 5.3 i went with if you can get the computer all wiring and the distribution box ie: fuse box as the 6.0 wont match to the 4.3 box... get the mounts also which i doubt these will work niether.. for a 5.3 i had to use on the passenger side the 4.3 and driver side the 5.3 mounts, fit perfect...as for rearend i would upgrade as the 4.3 probably has a 323 gear ratio .... get verything posible you can the more the easier ...

WHOSE BUYING IT YOU OR SHWARMY?

ITS A GOOD DEAL IF THE MOTOR HAS LOW MILES ON IT. YOU NEED A CROSS MEMBER IF YOU USE THE TRANS, DIFFERENT DRIVE SHAFT I THINK? HARNESS, LABOR I DON&#39;T KNOW? GIVE ALLEN A SHOUT HE WILL KNOW AND CAN TELL YOU WHAT ALL YOU NEED TO GET THAT SUCKER IN YOUR TRUCK.

*Hey Allen?* haha

Yea Im buying it thats why Im selling my bike for 4600 lol

I know it includes the computer I dont know about the distribution box. And Im going to upgrade the gears to 373. But if you guys can a list of needed equipment would be great

So heres the new version:

-V8 harness
- Engine Motor mounts
- Distribution box (If it doesnt come with it, not sure yet)

[C-WAY]

Ive got another question..

Can I just get the 6.0 with computer, harness, mounts, intake, exhaust, and leave the 4l60 and 323 rear end?

I will upgrade the rear end later...is it possible?

Labor is about 50 hours according to Street and Performance plus parts.

[C-WAY]

what just swapping engines? hmm....

[RedHeartbeat]

If you were swapping V8 to V8 Gen3 to Gen3 it&#39;s not so bad but you&#39;re converting a whole lot of stuff that isn&#39;t just a straight swap when you go from a V6 to a V8. Wiring is different, exhaust, mounts, tons of stuff. Ask guys on here that have done the conversion, it&#39;s not so bad but it is very time consuming.

[C-WAY]

yea..I was gonna get allen to do it...anyone here got him to do it?

V6 trannys wouldnt bolt up to a 6.0, needs another torque converter, and an input ... even with the v6 tranny all beefed up wont last long with the 6.0...
