4.8 to 6.0 swap

[Warren3]

I want to swap my 4.8 in my 02 GMC Sierra 1500 to a 02 6.0. What do I need to make it work?

Long block and tune. Everything is plug and play. Just tune for the 6.0. All manifolds, intakes, plugs, and throttle bodoes are the same. I swapped my 04 4.8 to an 05 LQ9 6.0

I have a build thread on this forum for my swap, I'll see if I can find it for you. Easiest swap in the world.

Ive also done the swap. Its stupid simple. Only time you'll need to change a few things is if you're swapping between 99-02 and 03-07 model years. Even then its simple. See build thread in sig for more info if you'd like.

Thanks guys, feeling much better about the swap now. Going to buy a reman long block and get it done.
