NEWBY LS swap questions

[kyle's sierra]

Hey guys just got signed up yesterday to the forum. I've already read through and got some helpful information.

I have a 95' RC Z71 that I want to do a 6.0 swap in. It has 236k miles and is getting tired and I want something fun to DD. I don't plan to tow with the truck I can use my new truck for that and gas mileage isn't really a concern either.

My budget is 10-12k total I'm looking to keep the 4wd for now and the 4l60. The truck will be lowered maybe 2/4 and I plan to run 04-06' factory 17'' wheels/tires. I would like to see 550-600 crank hp. What are my best options? I've had several trucks with superchargers and loved them. I thought about trying a turbo.

I'm assuming a complete pull out engine is my best option to start with??

Best option for 10k is a mild 6.0 with a single turbo. Your best option to start with would be a complete pull out engine, accessories, computer, and harness. Your 60e isn't going to last long with much over stock hp. Plan on having it built.

Engine, cam, springs, intake, injectors = 2500
Tranny = 2500
Turbo system = 4000
Fuel system = 500

That's what I figured. I've got one found with around 100k that's a cable TB and aluminum heads for $1300 shipped to me.

I'm in central Arkansas. Haven't heard back from the guy so he may have sold it.

LQ4 is a great motor option, but like has been said plan on strengthening things up a good bit. Trans, rear end etc.

I think 10-12k is a reasonable budget. Not like some people that want 500hp outta spending 3k.
