[renaldo99]

i have a 5.3l in my tahoe with almost 70k miles, i wanna swap it out for a rebuilt 6.0l lq9 block. what i was told when i called to buy they said the lq9 comes with everything but the coils and intake manifold. i was woundering will all my parts like my intake manifold, long tube headers from my 5.3 fit? Also what will i need to do the swap.

will it lose any power if i use the 5.3 parts?

iirc all 5.3 & 6.0 parts are inner changeable

Nope the coils, intake manifold and throttle body are the same.

Throw in a small cam, valve springs, headers, and a good tune. Hell if you can swing it a small stall and you will be BLOWN away
