To start off I am looking to do a V6 to V8 Conversion on my 2000 Silverado 2wd. The manual transmission currently in the truck is screwed so I'm looking to replace that and I figured I might as well throw a V8 in as well. I have found a 2003 GMC 4.8L 5 Speed 4x4 with 64 000kms. Sounds great... problem is he used it to do a lot of 'bush wacking' - hauling out trees, pulling stuff, other farm work, and I guess he's replaced one clutch already. The truck has been pulled apart, no box or front clip, I don't know if he has the rad or shroud. The engine looks to be complete I don't think he has hacked up any wires or anything. I know I am taking a risk if I buy this truck which I have no history on... my guess it's lived a pretty hard life by just looking at it.
My questions..
What do you think this is worth?
What would be some potential problems with the swap? I know I would have to swap the DBW pedal and system.
Is this a NV3500 Transmission? Would the tail stock from my transmission swap over to this?
Need some advice.
