4.8 vortec??
How much trouble am I getting myself into, thinking of a 4.8 vortec swap in my 1990 suburban 5.7 tbi/700r4 (are cheaper to come by and less sought after than the 5.3 vortec)
I’ll have some spare change next month, and instead of taking a short vacation…or listening to my mom and trading the 1990 in and buying another newer suburban. I would like to do this swap, I’m mechanically savvy as far as changing parts, not so much with diagnostics. I need everything back together by Jan 12th 2016 for school, is this actually possible? What aftermarket motor mounts, or another vehicle motor mounts are usable. The suburban already has an in tank fuel pump. What will I need from the donor vehicle? As always thanks in advance for any related advice/experience. It is greatly appreciated.
