6cylinder to 8 got some questions

[Trick1]

Seeing how its hard to find a 02 and early RCSB for a fair price thought about getting a 6cylinder and doing the swap one weekend. I would like to talk to some one that has done this swap to see if its something I really want to do, or just keep waiting for the right truck to turn up.
I can call you just drop a pm and phone.
Thanks

done 2 of my own, helped 3 others, virtually its very easy. i bought my wife a v6 rcsb for 3k about 2 years ago, when it started having tranny issues which was a shift selnoid, told her the tranny was fried lol thus buying her a new truck, cause i wanted the rcsb if ya need any info feel free to pm me.

basically just buy the motor you want and get the pcm wiring harness and just need the correct motor mounts and youre good to go, oh yeah might as well get a complete motor with accessories.

what about fuel,run the same in tank pump?fuel lines the same that connect into fuel rail?

fuel pump is the same, but i cut the ends and added some fuel hose to connect to the supply and return on the v8 motor. pretty simple..

so just motor mounts to the engine and frame,pcm,harness,tune.thats about huh?i know thers a bunch of dirt cheap rcsb 6 cylinders around.

thats about it!!

Come to think of it I have some V8 chassis lines for fuel that I could cut the quick connect ends off to sell as swap parts....
