nope, can't tell unless the transmission has been removed. Volunteer to help swap the trans and you'll be up under there to check it out and see if you can see the casting number.

The difference between winning and losing, is having a 2nd stage.
Dude--just buy a 6.0L from somewhere. Internet, local junk yard, Craigslist...whatever. You could even buy a longblock with 317 casting heads. The exhaust manifolds, intake manifold, coil packs, accessories, etc..pretty much the upper end of the motor (sans the heads) of the 4.8L can be used on the 6.0L. Once you buy a 6.0L, MAKE SURE you tear that motor down and do a visual inspection of everything...like remove, clean, and inspect the intake, heads, etc. Go through it with a fine comb and a bunch of Brake Clean. Install new head gaskets when reinstalling the heads.
Modifying a motor is 10X easier when the motor is sitting on a crate on the garage floor versus being in the truck. If you wanna go all-motor, you should consider putting in a cam, valve springs, pushrods, 243 heads, pulleys, etc. before it goes in. Yes, a V8-to-V8 motor swap is pretty much a direct swap concerning the electrical hook ups, vacuum lines, TB, etc. If you installed a STS kit, you can swap a 4.8L to a 6.0L...

Yeah...A friend of mine said he called to check and nothing turned up...Guess I'll just have to keep searching. I'd be happy with a longblock for a start...
Yeah, if you can't find a complete motor, go ahead and find a good long block then buy some 317 heads--or if you want some better performance, get a set of 243 heads!
