If it was me i would go 6.0 and cam it before it goes in the truck. I would also start saving for a built tranny and converter lol

Cam swap, your looking at close to $800 if you dont already have a converter. Depending on what converter you get it can get pricey.

The parts are transferable between the two, so anything you do to the 5.3 you can swap over to the 6.oh

How much can you get a healthy 6.0 in your area?
