About how much am I looking to pay for a 6.0 in my truck? Also, can I just use the block and heads from the 6.0 and bolt everything else on from my truck? Will this be a direct swap? also, where can i find one at? And.........I think that's it, I got a v8 5.3 right now, just lemme know, thx

Buy a 6L with heads and everything else bolts on from your 5.3. Cost depends on how new of a motor you buy and which one. The low output LQ4(315/345 somethin close to that) will ruin you usually in the Houston area about 1600-2000 grand for a sub 20,000 mile motor. For the LQ9(345/3XX) will run you about 2-300 more than the LQ4. Are you going to go to the Houston get together on the 20th?

I did my 6l swap (LQ4) for about $2000 with A custom cam from cam motion, new pushrods, and ARP rod bolts. Just make sure the tranny is ready for it. I know some people that have had problems with them.
