    Welcome and good luck with the swap. Don't go too cheap on the swap, but it can be done on a reasonable budget. Just get the parts list out of the sticky from this forum and start gathering parts as you see deals come up.

    Thanks, I'm in Marrero.

    Yeah, I read the 4.3 - 4.8/5.3 swap intently. I'm not great with these things but with the sticky and all that good advice I think it shouldn't be bad. I've got 70k miles and the 4.3l is just weak, I don't understand why GM didn't update the 6's when the created the LSx truck motors. I'm hoping I can get maybe $300 back outta the ol' 4.3l since people like to put them in mud-boats around here it shouldn't be too hard. Maybe I can put that to some headers? I'll have to see how short my stack is after I get all the parts.
