Wanting to do this swap as well.
Where should I start looking for this motor?
I want forged internals (pistons, rods, etc.). Who sells these as well?
I also want to cam it. Which cam is preferred...I need it streetable....its an everyday driver.
What all will need to be bought to switch over to the 6.0 (LQ9)?
Allen, can you help me with all this?
