Yea, Another 6.0 swap
Wasn't planning on doing the 6.0 swap any time soon, but i think i found a deal i cant pass up. A local guy has an lq4 out of an '01 i believe the year is. It has 180,000km(110,000miles) and he says it has the aluminum heads. Anything else i should be looking for? did the longer crank ever come with aluminum heads? Is the mileage anything to be concerned about? I'd probably be doing lifers, work the heads, and cam swap before i dropped it in. He was asking 1200 for everything. (intake, injectors, manifolds, starter, pcm, wiring harness, etc...)

there just aren't many around here period. some are asking around 1800 for a long block only with upwards on 300k. I'll be going to check it out later this week hopefully. let that be the deciding factor.

Swap
does one need the 4l80 to do a swap? have a '00 Sierra SLT 4x4 xcab, in the process of HCI job, but might be able to p/u a lq4 cheap, BUT if i need to back it with the "80" i may have to wait till i can afford another trans..
