Thanks for the info, as far as I know they are stock 6.0 heads I don't think there has been any porting done to them. I guess I can't complain too much for what I paid. I guess I never thought too much about the cam vs weight thing, but you may be right, I'm not looking to stick a bunch into the motor but would be open to suggestions, I am doing this build with the intent of having a bad ass motor that still gets somewhat dec mileage because I drive it long distances to attend truck shows and have ZERO intrest in building a trailer queen. But like I said if something will work out better I am def open to suggestions. Thanks guys

With those plans I would definetely pull that cam out and put in something smaller. I'm building a 6.0 with ls6 heads and a comp cams lsr cam. Look into one of those cams maybe. You can probably sell thatms4 cam for a fair amount especially if it is new. I drive my truck everyday to work in socal traffic and have no issues with the set up I have in my sig. It makes good power for what it is but I want more. You will be happy with the 6.0. When I finished my swap and drove mine for the first time it was a night and day difference between the 5.7.....and I went down to a 5.3. Good luck with the swap and feel free to pm me with any questions.

I just put the hood back On mine today and the stock hood will clear the truck intake and alternator I have a 94 burban channeled and stock floored 3" and it clears on 24" billets

It's not gonna clear the square engine cover on the truck intake though

I did some searching but came up empty handed, does anyone have pics of there swaps with relocated coil packs? Was thinking about moving them to clean the engine up a bit.

Nice thanks Jeff! That's quite the setup you have there, looks sweet!! What wires did you use with the coils mounted behind the engine?
-
I was able to reuse the Gen1 5.0 Vortec wires. That worked out very well because they were low mileage MSD wires. If I wre to do it over---Instead of all 8 coils next to each other and almost touching; I would have about a 2inch space in the middle (4coils-space-4coils) The wires would have a little more wiggle room like that.

Cool thanks jeff, ya I am leaning reared moving the coils and think that is an easy solution to cleaning the engine up a bit. Thanks for the info and pics! Much appreciated. -Neil
