Default swap LQ9

What’s up guys! My ride 00a4SS full bolts on. Question how complicated is it to swap a LQ9 6.0l out of a 04 -05 escalade and how much money I’m I looking to invest. Can some one point me to the right direction? THX!

The motor swap for my car was about $6k, including all forged components, labor, ported heads, etc...this was for a GTO.

Well are you gonna just swap motors or do you want to upgrade the internals as well? If you gonna just swap, it wont be to bad in price. All depends on who will do the labor.

all you need is to buy a 6.0 liter block and bore it .30 over and strok it and you have a 408 the block is $300 and the bore is like $80 and the stroker kit is $2200 and you cna get heads for $1900 and then buy and intake if you dont have one so maybe get away with it for about $5000
