God I love that Topic Title....lol

Being 45 and of the first gen era I didn't realize what I was getting into when my buddy talked me into buying a 97 corvette LS1 for my 99 4.8 4x4 Silverado. I bought Will Handzel's LS1 book and that helped a bit but I still have a few dumb ass questions that I hope you guys won't mind if I ask over the course of this swap.

Here's what I've managed to find out so far... wiring harness will work, ECM will have to be reflashed, Intake and throttle body will work if I go with electric fans. I'll have to use the cable throttle body from the 4.8....85mm is cool anyway. Swap out oil pan for 4.8....How'm I doing so far? Pretty much stuck with the 4l60e tranny being a 4x4. Swapping out the transfer case and shafts are not in the budget right now.
I did want to know about this LS6 cam and head swap...any comments? Is it really worth the cash? I was kind of thinking of throwing on the 4.8 heads, same valves just a smaller vol.(cc) Might push the comp over 11 tho and I wasnt' going to do the pistons...comments?

Thanks for having me.
