I did bolt it in!!! Quess its a bolt-in, not a bolt-on. I just drove it with the tune. Could someone get that mustang driver a sip of water or something . He looked pale and sickly after I wallked him

Well , Mine is stock as you can get. It has a panel filter and a 2.5 expanded pipe slowmaster weld-in My truck would hardly bark em. Now it will blister the out of em. I only got about 12 miles on it, but You can't smack the grin off my face. All doubters get off yer butt and do this swap!!!!

So a 6.0 will pretty much bolt up in place of a 4.8?? other then the fact that you need to use the flywheel of the 4.8, I have a Lq4 sitting out of a 03' Chevy.. Can I use the 4.8 wiring harness and just swap the motor in ??? I will have to tune the ECU ofcourse ..

YES, DO IT. It just bolts in. Its crazy easy , looks and sounds stock and its a big jump in power.
