2008 Silverado 6.0 to 4.8 conversion

[CHEVROLADE]

Yes 6.0 to 4.8 conversion..........anyways my question is the truck is a 08' crew cab vmax....which needs a new motor..with me having my 4.8 on standby,i got offered some $$$ for the motor and to do the install.....one thing is the vvt cam phaser thing,,,,could i use the 6.0 cam,etc on the 4.8 for the sensor plug?or could this even work?if possible,tuning will be taken care of by Np

What year is this 4.8 from?

[CHEVROLADE]

its also a 2008 4.8...off of my truck after i did the 6.0 swap..........it only has 11k miles.........they just want to get it up and running...its a county(cop) truck

[CHEVROLADE]

i know it will fit and all,since i swapped a ly6 in my truck...but now its the other way around lol...the only thing that concerns me is the vvt cam phaser thing

You would just need to have the VVT tuned out.

You would just need to have the VVT tuned out.

so it wouldnt matter if we just put the plug to one side?that being said i need to find a stock cam now w/o the vvt,,all i have is vvt cams :/

[PitchBlackC3]

I would think so, as long as the diagnostics are tuned out. Have to check into that a little.

it's the same as putting a 6.0/6.2 in your truck but keeping the vvt setup. like stated, just tune it out.
whats wrong with the 6.0? if i was you id try and grab it from them for a descent price

[CHEVROLADE]

ok ,i sent allen a pm on this just to double check get his opinion.

as for the 6.0 i can hear it knockin a little and it overheats.....

I just pulled up a 6.2 file and you can disable the VVT.
