I tried using the search section bit for what ever reason it won't allow me to search.

So my 4.8 in my 02' Tahoe is in need of swapping so is the 5.3 plug & play? Other than needing a ecu?

Straight swap. You'll just need to tune the pcm for the 5.3. Just to make it easier on you--I'd reuse your intake--just in case if you get a newer motor.
