I would thin k if you go t a 6.0 ya would also want to use the 80e Tranny because of the power difference and gearing differences between the 60e and 80e.
If the truck performed to your satisfaction grab a 5.3 Jasper or some other long block rebuild and put it and and be done with internal issues.

I agree totally....because the gear ratio in the 4L80 is quite diffrent and you'll loose some of the power you are wanting, through the Trans. Silent1 is 100% correct on this....I'm with him.
