No problem, I have researched it pretty hard and it looks like there is a 30horse difference in the 2 engines. I will be looking for a 5.3/4l60e to go in there still, but I'm not afraid to use the 4.8 at all. Glad you already have one for your project. I will work great in your blue truck or you new project. I am pretty far away from doing the install but when I do, I will document it as good as I can. Right now, the biggest hang up, is getting the frame to fit into the shop. It is not the best weather to be working on this thing outside. I have plenty to do on the cab still.
