Hi everyone it's been a long time since I was last on here!

My 86 C1500 SWB project is going in a different direction now. A quick run down... I bought a low mileage 2004 Chevy Express 2500 with the 6.0 gas for scrap price because the van body is completely rotten but the motor and tranny are in perfect working order.

What all would I need to do a 6.0 + trans swap?

All advice and options are greatly appreciated

Nice plug lol:waytogo:
Its just easy. One stop shop. Info and parts. I mean, you could search all day over the web and try to mix and match parts. We did that for my buddys 70 chevelle with his 5.3 and T56, and we are still doing **** to that thing. Its just nice to be plug and play.
