Polaris650freak Posted May 16, 2012 Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 (edited) Hey guys his is my first post on here. I was a frequent flyer over on dieselplace when I had my Duramax. I have recently switched to a 99 Chevy ext cab short box that I built with a 04 cab and 02 gmc front end painted a dark charcoal woth black 18's. Has the little 5.3 in it. My friend owns a giant salvage yard and he gets ss trucks in sometimes. I want to swap a Ss motor into my truck. I have a guy that will tune it. But my main questions are am I going to have to make motor mounts? Will tranny bolt up? And what all will I need off the Ss truck to do this swap. Any help is appreciated. If I posted in te wrong section I apologize and a mod can move it to the right location.

The_aSSet Posted May 16, 2012 Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 You just need the short block if i'm not mistaken. And everything will bolt up just fine like it was meant to be there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polaris650freak Posted May 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 What about the fuel system? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_aSSet Posted May 16, 2012 Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 As long as you use the 5.3 intake and rails you should need to only swap out the block. Keep the 6.0 heads or 5.3 doesn't matter, both bolt up the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonycillo Posted May 16, 2012 Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 (edited) your good on the fuel system as well Edited May 16, 2012 by red04supersport (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polaris650freak Posted May 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 Awesome! Alright thanks guys I appreciate it. I'm going to have billy who owns the salvage yard keep an eye out for one. The guy who painted my truck bought a 2004 6.0 with supercharger and ken bell fuel system for 1000 bucks from billy and he put it in a h2. I wish I could of gotten that motor but I'll wait for that right deal to come around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
