i guess thats why i could never find any info on this swap cause its no good. yeah today is the day i start saving for my V8 swap it just hurts me cause the truck is so new.

its a good idea but if you were to go with a 6 i would go with a 4.3 outta the silverados my dads 06 and 08 get up and go! if mine ever goes im gonna prolly do the 4.3 swap plus i think the v8 would be too much for what i do with it and its 4x4 im not draggin like tx so i think it would be a good swap plus if i wanted more power id just s/c the 6.....

Is there a difference between the 4.3 out of the Silverado and the 4.3 out of an S-10? I had the 4.3 in my S-10 Xtreme and it was decent. But I'd take the I5 over the 4.3 any day.

yeah i already have a some cash saved up for the swap so all i got to do is start looking for a donor car\truck.
only engine that is going in this truck now is a 6.0 or a 6.2

so LS2 or LS3?? or u talking LQ4, LQ9, or what ever is the one that comes in the new Denali's??

 

[08 RAD]

yeah either an ls2 from a gto or the 6.2 from a newer caddy or if thats to much a regular 6.0 i was thinking of 5.7 cause you can find quick but i think a 6. whatever would be better heavier but better.

 

[08 RAD]

hopefully next year i can get something going as for now i guess i can try an make it a quick I4 lol

We have an 07 Escalade and the engine in that thing is nasty. If you throw one in your truck I'll call you a god.

 

[SWEEETRUCK]

well that might be true since v8s are wider instead of longer.

x2 on that

[chucky22888]

I believe the new 6.0's are the L76's

An I6 or V6 won't cut it for all the reasons listed above, and because of the sound. All that work and money, and not have V8 sound?

For some reason, I don't think sound is the first thing people think of when toying with the idea of an engine swap.

 

[Sharpeye]

I agree. The first thing I would look for is horsepower of the new engine, then compatability with my drivetrain. Once it's finished, it will be a testament to my know how. I'll definitely have to show it off. V8 sound will be a part of it. Rumbling with a cam lope. Can't get more American than that!

X2 :high5:

Try an STS universal turbo kit with HP tuners to compensate for the madness.

A little cheaper on the Horsepower/cost ratio, but with out the modifying madness showdown.
