Picked up a near new Gen 5 with a 8spd auto. It is a drop out so I don't have access to any of the vehicle stuff. How much of a pain in the rear is this swap? I was thinking of putting in the Motor Home. Should I take it on or chuck it for a 6.0? I have the harness ECM, TCM is in the mail. Do not know about the fuel module if it is there. Going to do the 4.8 swap into the Blazer first to get the hang of it.

Thoughts? Advice?
