Kansas City Pick-n-Pull last Friday? At any rate, too vague of a question. When you get started on it and have a specific question, then ask it and you'll likely get a specific answer. Youre not going to get many replies to a "how do I put this in my truck" question. This is me being nice, others will come on here and say "use the Search Button noob". When you actually start working on it I think you'll see what I mean....

I've never bought a stand alone LS harness, but there are vendors on here that have a pretty good track record. PSI and BP come to mind . I would make a new thread, or possibly re-title this one, asking that question. If I have a question I usually will put it in the thread title so people know its a question rather than advice or a build thread of sorts.

So what did they end up charging you for the 6.0?

A friend of mine just did a K5 Blazer and made it look stock under the hood. The truck was nearly perfect (no rust, no dents, factory paint) so he did it in a way that required very little modification to the truck.

But I agree with Eric, no one is going to give you a magic parts list and build sheet. If you have specific questions ask politely after researching, but generic questions like yours will get you thrown to the wolves.

Try to find a 6.0 motor put a escalade or a denali. They are the LQ9 motors and have more power than y he Silverado engines cause of different pistons. Lq9 produce more to start with since they more compression that comes from the flat top pistons.
