Trying to decide which way to take my project.

I have a 2004 thats lq4 (6.0L) swapped and its fun! the truck was a 4.8

another thing that might help you is 4.8 5.3 & 6.0 is all the same external stuff (intakes, manifold, sensors & etc.) so you can put parts from any of those to do you swap

you'll find a ton more info on performancetrucks.net about getting it done

good luck!

Thanks stroker87 yeah i know that the ls are the same outside size the differences are internal and i was just thinking power and budget wise what would be best bang for the buck. I have a mental list on everthing i need to do to swap just havent made my mind up yet.
