What happened to your 4.8?
I'd ask an indy shop what they think, personally I think the electrics of the swap would cause you more headache than it's worth. BTW, are you sure the engine didn't suffer from the impact? Doesn't look too good...

Check his other thread! Water damage.

I wonder if the longblock will bolt in. hummmm

Yes, that is my question. Cause i DON'T want to use the 4.6 electronics. but i don't know.

That swap would be more trouble than it's worth... The engine is different as the 4.8is is a valvetronic motor so the harness and DME are completely different... The transmission is different, the transfer case is different, and all of the control modules need to communicate with eachother. The only way to do that would be to swap out the whole drivetrain and all of the computers and the whole body harness as there are extra computers on the 04 that aren't on the 03, such as the transfer case control...

Basically, it can't realisticly be swapped, So I'd stick with either your current rebuilding project or buying a longblock or shortblock used, maybe LKQ has an engine for a decent price.

Well you all heard it! I am not going to try to do that, and anyways i want to have a 4.8 not the 4.6 lol, But i will tell you all what, i will still bid on that car, i can use some parts of it and so can you guys! :) So if i get it will be up for some serious grabs! :) Will get back to you all on Monday, or even Friday, as for now, i am getting ready to put the 4.8 back together with the new parts i got for it. And i know God will help me make it work. :)

ng2.....like I said man....:rofl: if your not going to use that Dinan Strut Brace...dibs dibs dibs....if you win the bid.....please pm me and let me know!!

Best of luck....and better luck with the rebuild.....on the 4.8!!

Rich:thumbup:

I see one thing that truck has that mine doesn't............. NAV! The only nav I have is a cheap little garmin in the center console. I'd strongly consider that one!

Looks like there are a lot of good parts from the pics. Is this local? Can you physically inspect this vehicle? Total up what you can sell or use for yourself on the 4.8is. I'd have to at least double my money or more. The wheels, nav, seats, tranny, engine, modules etc, etc could add up to quite a bit if sold individually. Just my my 2 cents. Good luck with the auction! :cool: :popcorn:

No more than the people who made the "car" in your current avatar :rofl:
