Can I swap a 4.8 v8 and use the same transmission into a 2003 chevy express...

This is a huge job and may be technically illegal in your state. If your state checks the emissions, it will fail after you do the swap. You would have to go through a timely re-certification process and cost you a huge amount of money. Even if you are not required to do an emission check, you need a new computer, wiring harnesses, brackets, radiator, exhaust and countless other items will also have to be replaced. If you already had the engine, it would cost you around $3,000 in extra parts, plus another $1,500-$2,000 in labor.
 
...that has a 4.3 v6? Will I need to replace any other parts like radiator or any other parts under the hood or exhaust parts? Is there a web site to go to for help?
