I couldnt stand when everyone would say why you building a N/A 4.8L its practically pointless get a 5.3L or 6.0L. Well, blah on yall... cause Guess what I'm joining the bandwagon now. lol, I finally bought one. I'm about to save up and try get some head work done after i send them off to be checked before I do anything else. I really need to start thinking about getting a FLT tranny soon to. Motor came out of a 03 Silverado SS with 86,000 for a lifter knock..
looks awesome! your gonna have fun with that

Damn....good call! It's always fun to have a 6.0L sitting around... Tear that biatch down and make it sparkle... Then rebuild it with only the best parts. That thing will haul some ass! And the cool thing is that the parts are interchangeable!

yeah, I cant wait to see whats going to happen once i swap everything over and get some upgraded heads. I have a feeling the tranny is going to say fair well... lol
jeez it seems like every other week you have something new for that motor now your giving up on it haha
welcome to the 6.0 club
yeah, id like to do a 6.0 swap into my truck. Maybe someday. Im sure youll be happy with the power increase, and wonder why you ever spent a dime on the 4.8.
Yes sir!!! Wish I had done a 6.0 $7K ago...

lol yeah, I'm glad i stuck with it and I've only been making smart choices basically buying performance parts that will bolt on over when the time is ready. Right now i'm trying to get my planning down.. I want at least 11.1 CR out of the sixy. and I might be thinking going to a 402ci all forged setup to handle a big shot of spray. I'm really not sure if i can keep the 317 stamped heads and push it to that CR without upgrading the pistons.. so this might be a full year build up in the making..

you can always throw on a set of 241 heads and it will bump the compression.
