    Need some advice on LSX SWAP

    Hello my name is Oscar and I want to know what would be a good 6.0 build for a daily driven truck ?? Thinking of going fuel injected ,want to change the cam but not a really big of a cam, I really don't know what tranny to get yet but I know i want a overdrive type.. My budget should be around $3500 for my build.

    THat's a tight budget for a full swap. You could get a 5.3 for much less than a 6.0. They make good power too. Either way, a cam along the lines of a 220 or 224 would work great. 4l80e will save you money in the long run as you will eventually demolish a 60e. Fuel injected will be much cheaper and easier on this swap anyway.

    as stated staying fuel injection will save money because the motor will already have intake,tb, and injectors. 5.3L make some good power, would be a nice daily driver. i bought a gen4 5.3L 60e complete for $1700. its a nice motor has an aluminum block, 799 heads, tbss intake,87mm tb, 30lb injectors. rated at 320 hp. its a nice driver. the swap can be done on your tight budget but not with a cam,stall verter, and headers
