Ok I'm looking at some heads, which would be a better choice for a 2000 6.0 220 cam, LTs, LS2 intake? Found some 317s off a 6.0. Or I found a set of 243s off a 5.7

The 243's have a little smaller combustion chamber so you will get some bump in compression and they flow a little bit better than the 243's.
Ok thanks
With 243s and an LS6 cam(i would go bigger) you essentially have an iron LS2. Defiantly the way to go unless you plan on a crap ton of spray or boost.
Ok thanks
I'm not planning on spray or boost, it's just a budget build, so far I have an 04 extended cab, built trans, 6.0, LTs, LS2 intake. For 1700 invested.
So the 243s r the better option?
Yes
If you cant decide on what heads to buy, I will buy the 243's from you ;)..... that should help you make a decision lol....Def. go with the 243's tho FTW
You already have the 220 cam? A 6.0 will laugh at that cam. It's WAY too mild IMO. You could run that cam on the stock converter no problem...oh and 243s all the way!
no I havnt got the cam yet, I was going by what nelson was recommending to me. She may have said the 228 cam I need to look at the email
bigger is always better :)
I'm just goin wit what I'm told works best, idk this will be my first LS build
doesn't your 2000 6.0 already have the 317's on it??
I don't think the stock converter is enough even for the stock cam!!! :spit:Quote:

Ah, so the engine is probably a '99, and also has the longer crank snout...Quote:

I thought all you had to do was remove spacer on crankshaft, that was what we did on a 01 6.0 motor for my cousin.
243 = NA
317 = boost

No, the 4l80 flex plate Impacted the converter n the pump, the 4l60 flex plate pulled the converter out of the pump. Maybe urs had the newer crank set up idk
I know that you didn't mention the LS3 heads as an option, but they can be picked up for around the same amount as a set of 243's and will be better than both of the other options. But if you aren't wanting to use LS3 heads I would vote for 243's.
