    Did I miss it?.....5.3 to 6.0 Swap

    I just joined this group and I looked through the posts and couldn't seem to find what I was looking for. I am new to GenIII engines and want to know how difficult and what is involved in swapping a 6.0 in place of a 5.3 in a 2002 Suburban?

    Nothing really. Just pull your long block and replace it with the 6.0. Then tune the PCM.

    Depends on the year 6.0 if its 2001 up then no problem. just change ur flywheel, tune and go. however if its a 99-00 then it wont be easy

    So, if I just get a Long Block I should put bigger injectors in, correct?
