Gen Iv 5.3 To Gen Iv 6.0

[dmntxn77]

I have found tons of motor swap info using the search, but I havent found a straight answer to my question.

 

I have a 2007 Suburban with the LY5 5.3 and it needs a new motor. I want to go ahead and upgrade to the 6.0 (6.2 is not available) but I cant figure out how much will need to be changed along with it.

 

I am pretty sure the 4L60 will bolt up, and I am aware that I might want to consider some tranny upgrades too since the motor has more power.

 

I am not worried about any of the easy stuff like exhaust.

 

I mainly just want to know if my computer will work with the new motor. I assume that it wont due to the VVT, but I am not sure.

 

Will I need a new computer, or can I simply send mine off for a new tune?

 

Thanks in advance!

if you go 6.0 everything will bolt right up and all you will need is a tune! 6.2 its a little more work

Man, thats the answer that I wanted to hear! Any reccomendations on a good tunner (as in person/place, not the acutal tuner)?

Black Bear for the tune. Can't beat em!

 

Here is a thread where one of our members did the 4.8 to 6.0 swap in his Silverado. Quite successful and no different than swapping from a 5.3 since they are identical engines externally.

I've been wondering where that guy went off to. Back in the day, he had a higher average post perday number than I do. Damn, now I feel I need to mod my truck more to make sure I can outrun that. Next mod, cam. You own truck mod central? Maybe I see another site that I need to become a member of and put a sticker on the back of my truck for.
