What do you consider best? Let me break it down for you. If you are considering best price, stick with installing another exact 4.3L engine. That alone, finding a used engine and paying someone to swap the old with the new will cost you over $3K. If you are considering best for performance, install a 5.3L or 6.0L V8. you can find a donor truck to make the swap. It would include a used engine, wiring harness, trans, driveshaft, ECM, etc. That will be over $10K when you are all said and done. But if you do want to go that route, I would consider just buying a new truck with the bigger engine.

Thanks, what I mean by best is what new engine would fit this year and model of truck the best. I already have a new truck, this is my extra bad weather vehicle that I drive and want it to be just as dependable as the new, it has a great body and interior for this year of PU. $10,000 does not seem bad to me.
