Are you going to post pictures of your swap? BTW, check with BRP hotrods on here, they are a sponser. Also, check with your local junkyard. I have a 93 ext cab Z that would love to here about your swap but I am only at 170k!

Get the 6.0 You will need the extra torque to get it moving. Trust me on this
You will need more gear too or it will be a dog. 4.56 or 5.13 depending on 35's or 37's
Have fun with it and do a solid axle front swap if you can swing it. Stronger, more articulation and you can run a locker with that diff.
Sorry, I forgot for a minute this is not a 4X4 forum
You should be able to buy a good used 6.0 + harness and computer from your local parts yard.
