Would the computer and everything else need to be changed out if the motor was swapped for a 5.3? He wants $700 for the motor and trans and seemed like he would give me whatever wiring, etc I need. The truck only has 122,000 mile son it, so I would be surprised if the motor was already swapped out. I suppose stranger things have happened. Something goes wrong with an oil pump, or someone runs it out of oil...
