<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(alabamachevy15 @ Apr 18 2007, 05:11 PM) [snapback]90437[/snapback]</div>well, what all is coming with ur 6.0? one thing i would check is is the 6.0's intake manifold has egr. the 4.8 probably doesnt and if the 6.0 does itd be easy to just bolt the 4.8's manifold onto the 6.0 and have ur tuner delete the egr. :thumb:Quote:

You'll need the PCM retuned for the 6.0L engine. A couple friends, a hoist, a toolbox full of tools and a case of beer is a good start. :thumb: Be sure to check the crankshaft length before trying to stab it in. Be sure it's the same length as the one you're taking out and if it's longer, see if it has an extension pressed on it that you can remove. Reuse the 4.8 flywheel unless you know everything is identical.
im sure it comes w/ intake but i will just put my 4.8 one on instead. it will probally be about a month or two before i get it i was just seeing what all i need. im gonna order a 4.10 posi and programmer while im at it. do i need to beef up the trans? i already have a shift kit just havent had the time to put it in.
That should be a nice easy boost of HP! Would that be called stock, or a bolt on? :rofl:
stock 4.8 when im racing somebody! :laugh:
Ya I'm thinking after this weekend I'll have the only aluminum block 4.8L around. :smile:
they want know what happened specially mustangs!
Is it time for the transplant? I've got a 4.8 CC that needs a 408. If they don't believe it's a 4.8 the can check the VIN. :laugh:
i think im gonna get a 4.8ss sticker!
