Official NBS 4.3v6 to GEN 3 V8 swap Guide

[zebra]

Hey Guys,
Im brand new here and i Just purchased a 06 Chevy Silverado Reg Cab 2wd 4.3 V-6
5 Spd.

Its slow. I no Like. I wanna Go Fast.

Heres my question/ Could be my plan:

6.0 Goat motor with its T-56 Tranny. Complete Swap.
I wanted to keep the Truck Manual.
Is the Goat 6.0 the same as Truck 6.0 ( i know its not the same, but is it close?)

What do you think?
I think It would be fast and awesome. I already know im going to pay a pretty penny for the 6.0/T-56 combo, so thats been taken into consideration.

Thanks A heap Guys!

the 05-06 GTOs had the LS2 which is similar but, at the same time, very different from the LQ4 or LQ9 used in the trucks. i don't have a bunch of time to explain, but if you do a search for these engines, you'll find a bunch of info around here.

good luck on the swap! it sounds fun

So it would be easier (and a lot cheaper) just to use a 6.0 lq4? In that case would I just keep my 5speed? I do know that chevy offered the 5speed behind 6.0 motors in 06 but I think it was in half cabs, so I assume it's a beefier 5speed. Could I just beef mine up?
