Default Ls3 crate engine swap?

My little 4.8 is starting to tick in my 2012 Silverado, I was looking at the 480hp GM crate engine, what will I need to make this swap?

I got the transmission lined out with a built 80. Started working 7-12s so when this job is over the swap begins.

The 480hp LS3 will pretty much be a plug and play for the 4.8l. I would take in account that you will need to look into a new truck intake for the rectangle port or work the front acc drive system to clear the lower car style intake. If I can help with any tech or pricing give me a call. 1-800-456-0211 ext 353
