6.0s tend to eat stock 60s for breakfast lunch and dinner. Find some 799 or 243 heads off an 07+ truck and swap them on, wouldnt hurt.

you might of not look into it to much. the motor is phsyically the same outside. its a direct swap with only thing needed is reprogram of computer.

stock motor the 60e will hold up fine if youre not a complete idiot!!!! i know a few ppl personally with stock trannys holding up to power and adult abuse. if you abuse anything it will break. also if person tuning the setup does shitty job then yes your trans will fail sooner then later.

4.8 is a solid motor but no way a good motor for how you have your truck. for 600 bucks you can buy a 6.0 and install it. stock lq4 even with manifolds and etc will run better then teh 4.8 with bolt ons in that truck of yours
