5.3 to LQ4 swap
Hey guys! got a 02 Sierra that is going to get a new motor. Been pondering the thought of doing the 6.0 swap. Just what all does this involve. Been told the harness will not work. Also been told the 4L60 will not work. What gives? Found a LQ4 with 50K on it for $1500 complete with acc. Really would like to have a motor with alot of attitude. The more I read on here the dumber I get-Brainstrain!

Yup, other than the intake, throttle body, and flexplate, it's a direct swap. As stated, the blocks are identical on the outside. I reused all of my accessories as well. Also, if you don't have longtubes and want to do them, now is a perfect time. When you get the old motor out, lay the longtubes in, drop the new motor in, and bolt them up!
