Engine Swap

Is it possible to fit a V6 into a 2006 colorado body? or would I just have to put a 5cyl in it at the biggest?

you should be able to get a 5.3 v8 . . . thats what the new ones come with and its the same body. . . may need stronger engine mounts or something tho

check over on 355nation, they have a whole section devoted to engine swaps and a couple people doing the v8 swap currently. I know of a couple guys that make the harnesses and kits for the engine swaps.
