Great thead! SO lemme throw this wrench in here. I like the 6.0 for it's flexibility and power production. But those big valves, 2.00". what If I stick my 5.3 heads on the 6.0 with the stock 1.89" valves, will I not have a torque monster that would probably sign off just south ot 5,000 rpm....

Edit; What I'm lookin' for, and I think I speak for most of us here- is that iron- headed LT-1 snap off the bottom...........

Follow along with Zippy's thread. LQ4 + 5.3L heads milled at 58cc's. Should make a torque monster out of the naturally high revving 6.0L.
