99 Chevy 454 or 6.0 swap

[Tramguage1]

I'm at a crossroads! I have a 99 Chevy C2500HD with a MPI 7.4. I'm having some oil pressure troubles and I'm thinking about a 6.0 swap.

So looking for some input on weather to rebuild/ shortblock the 7.4 or just go ahead and do a 6.0 swap. I dont put but maybe 2k miles per year on this truck.

I'd rebuild the 7.4

I'd rebuild the 7.4

No replacement for displacement

Had a 94 2500 with the 7.4. And an 07 with the 6.0

Maybe instead of rebuild it should be building a 7.4!

5.9 swap...

7.4 will be cheaper vs a whole EFI/engine swap. Throw in a small cam and headers and tune.

I want it to be a ranch tow vehicle for my farm equipment. So maybe just a couple hundred more HP

You interested in being my mentor for this build?

For farm that would be good
