    TimeLimitHit,

    I have the complete engine, right out of the 06. The only thing I dont have is the gas pedal. Seems like it should be a worth while project, just seems like its going to be a PITA. but if i can SFA my truck im sure i can handle this

    What i would love to know is will the 6.0 bolt up with the 700R4... what all do i need and dont need to get this motor running and running strong. I know ill need a new fuel pump, anyone have a Part number for me? Ill need feul lines to right? what should i get them out of? or just run braided lines all the way from the tank to the motor? how many O2 sensors should i keep/ set up in the truck to make sure it runs well? Are the stock exhaust manifold good enough for this engine/ Swap?

    Any and all help is greatly needed.

    The motor will bolt onto the 700r4, and I think you need a spacer for the torque converter to flexplate, now as to how long it will last is another question. You may also run into problems with your tv/kickdown cable. If you take it easy it could last, but with that new power you may not want to take it easy. All I did on mine was make a CAI, headers, and a free flowing exhaust. And it runs strong for me, atleast for now. I just used a fuel pump from a 1996 Chevrolet Suburban, but others have used a Wahlbro. I just ran two fuel injection hose lines from the fuel filter to the fuel rail. As far as the o2 sensors, I just used the 2 pre-cat sensors.

    Fuel pump is Walbro #GSS340.

    Need two o2 sensors, pre cat. The two post cat o2s can be tuned out. Shoenfield makes headers for your swap if you so desire.

    looks like its going to be awhile untill i start the swap now since im moving. Also do to the lack of funds i may even sell the motor. Im not entirely sure what im going to do since i know this wont be a easy or cheap(ish) swap.

    If you use your current 700r4, make sure it has at minimal a few upgrades if you plan to run it hard, beast sunshell, dual cage sprag, and for the pump, get the boost valve, and HD pump slide spring. Never remove the acc. springs, but you could go slightly stiffer on them.
