Default 6.0 upgrade with a few extras...

So today Big Brown brought us these parts... Performabuilt Stage 3 transmission with 3800 Stall converter and Torquer V2 cam package with 918 springs and pushrods. Also going in along with the 6.0 swap are existing components from my 5.3 which are Pacesetter Long tubes, NX 150 shot wet kit.



Heres the 6.0 thats going in..needs alittle bit more cleaning




And here is the truck its going to.. 04 ext cab 4x4 silverado





Here is the old transmission which had a yank 3000 stall. It went out on us the same day we were going to start the engine swap. Will post more progress pics.

lq4 or lq9? if it's an lq4 you should mill the heads or swap on some 243's for that cam. its not going to do too well running on 9.4:1 compression. you would want at least 10:1, and 10.5:1 or 11:1 would be better.
