I thought that 5.3 heads on a 6.0 were no good because the bore is larger on a 6.0

The 6.0's larger bore can swallow the 5.3 heads no problem. It's the 5.3 that can't take the larger valves because of it's small bore. The idea behind my current madness is that the extra overlap will be partially compensated by the higher compression. I may not go with something as big as the 224, in fact I may go with the cam I just got on a 112 or something to try to keep my low end #'s solid. I wish that cam would just fix itself overnight, anybody got any magic machineist dust their willing to sell
