Engine Swap

YES!!!

Lol. Was trying not to say anything until I was in the process or done, but I had a question about the 317 heads. Once the motor is in, gonna get a little more stuff done.

I picked up an '02 6.0L yesterday to rebuild and swap into my '01 Tahoe. There's some good information in this thread:

Great info there!

OP, lots of guys running 6ltr swaps here. It's not hard to do if you are mechanically inclined, shop quoted me $2k just for the swap, but I wanted to do more than just a straight swap so I did it all myself. Its a snowball effect if you start modding the motor lol.

I ran my 6.0 on the 5.3 tune for two weeks. The computer will compensate to a point. But if you start mashing the throttle it will lean it out and blow a hole in a piston. Same goes for extensive high was use. I drove mine two hours on the highway to the tuners. Took it easy and never had an issue. I also used everything off of the 5.3 and put on the 6.0. Use the 4l65 also. Direct fit no modification to anything during the swap.

Schweet! That should work well. I'm curious if it has EGR, hard to tell from this angle.

Not really sure. It's an 05. I haven't really had time to really drool over it yet!

Talked to my mechanic, he said there's no egr on it.

Yeah it would be on the passenger side manifold connecting to the intake. Its usually tuned out anyway.
