    8.1 Swap?

    8.1 is a doggy low rpm torque motor. It isnt meant to go fast its meant for brute strength, and thats what it does. Its almost as heavy if not as heavy as a duramax at 2/3rd the power and 1/8th the fuel milage. If your pulling 15k lbs to town a coupletimes a year go for it. If you want to take a...

    8.1 Swap?

    Never said the 6.5 was a better engine now did I? a ford straight 6 will do it to. Go ahead, swap your 8.1, and when you have no aftermarket options to stop half ton 5.3's from wasting you, dont come crying about it.

    8.1 Swap?

    It has no top end power. Its a low rpm engine. Yes it will pull down a house but so will a 6.5 turbo diesel, though youll never hear someone agree with that due to the highschool band wagon hate for them. Reguardless if Im crusing along at 70 and I put my foot to the floor I want to feel...

    8.1 Swap?

    Youll fine a 6.0 swap way more practical. The 8.1 is a gutless wonder and a thirsty pig. It lacks the off the line push the 6.0 and 5.3 have. At 1/2 the gas milage. Plus there really isnt a lot of aftermarket for the 8.1
