04silveradoclone07ss Posted January 10, 2007 Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 well i found a nice red rst in my area for sale. i was reallly thinking about buying it but all the diffrence between mine and that truck is the roll pan, and interior. well i thought about all the money i was going to spend to get that then the hassel to sell mine so i just decided i would really get into doing my truck over. i have a tan interior which im looking around for a parts truck with grey interior and doing a swap. but i was also thinking about doing some work to the engine. i was thinking maybe a 6.0 swap. is there any way to make my 4.8 into a 6.0 or would i have to buy a new engine? i really want to get into doing alot of work in the truck and more cosmetic and more power related.. also how hard would it be to swap interior??

allballz57 Posted January 10, 2007 Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 They have the LQ9 on crateenginedepot.com for around 3500 complete last time I checked. That would be a good start. As for the interior I'm sure its all basically the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
