If it still runs then it is a good candidate for a rebuild.
Ready to fit the truck? No, it was designed to fit a car. If you get a long block, then you could bolt on your intake and exhaust manifolds and all of your old accessories after you put the timing cover from your old 5.7 on it. Problem you run into here is first finding a 6.1 long block and getting it down to you, then the extreme port mismatch you will experience between your stock intake and exhaust manifolds and the 6.1 head ports and then tuning it to run right. Swap like this will require a few custom or aftermarket parts.Im afraid that it can happen that while Im traveling and with the service here you can be robbed....... and killed in some places
dosent anyone sell like a 6.1 with all the parts ready to fit on the truck?
