Can you put a 6.0 motor in 2000 1500 Silverado?

No, you can't directly put a 6.0L LS engine (like from a 2000s-era GM truck or SUV) into a 2000 Silverado 1500 without significant modifications. The 2000 Silverado 1500's frame, mounting points, and wiring harness are not designed for the 6.0L. You'd need extensive fabrication work, including:

* Engine mounts: Custom engine mounts would need to be fabricated.

* Transmission: The 6.0L likely uses a different transmission than your Silverado 1500. You'll probably need a new transmission, driveshaft, and possibly the rear differential.

* Wiring harness: The engine's computer and wiring harness are incompatible. You'd need a custom harness or significant rewiring.

* Exhaust system: A new exhaust system would be required.

* Cooling system: The cooling system might need upgrades to handle the larger engine.

* Potential frame reinforcement: The added weight of the 6.0L might require frame reinforcement.

While technically possible with enough time, skill, money, and fabrication expertise, it's a massive undertaking far beyond a simple engine swap. It would likely be cheaper and easier to either find a used 2000 Silverado 1500 with a larger engine or consider a different engine swap that requires less modification. A 5.3L or 5.7L LS engine from the same era would be a far more realistic and straightforward swap for your truck.
