Would a 6.2/6.6 swap need the computer and other management stuffs for the bigger motor?6.2 are damñ near impossible to find.  It took 6 months to find one and it was only by chance a poor Jen Juan got nailed in the rear and shop guy found it.  The 6.6 shortblock alone is somewhere in the 10K range, if i remember.  It would surely handily gut the trans.I would rebuild or get a new 5.4 and keep the Procharger... they're fun and make a neat S/C whine.  It's fun to see the reaction when I tell folks it's just a vacuum leak</blockquote>
