Little small for the application, but not trying to make crazy power
past 6,000 rpm either.

Just a street SUV so no worries on them being exposed to anything
too bad, and use a small oil return pump to pump oil back up into the pan.

Might just boost the 5.3, just seen some good deals on low mile
LQ9's all the time and figured it'd be good way to beef-up the engine
and pick up hp with relatively easy swap.

If did a cam swap on the 5.3, will it still pass emissions ?
It would be 10x easier to do a 67mm on a FMT setup on the passenger side...a lot of room, easy to run a 4" DP in that area, plus it is all under hood--easy to install and get to when needed. You can also reuse the existing pass manifold and turn it upside down to mount the flange. Putting twins underneath would be a PITA..IMHO. The only advantage I see is to keep the temps down from it not being under the hood. But with your turbo experience, I am sure you will have a nice setup with it.

Well, if you can find a good deal on a 6.0L, then take it. But if you don't--throwing some mods and boost on the 5.3L would put down some good numbers. Yeah, you can pass emissions. Once you do the cam, you will need a custom tune. And once evrything is tuned, you will have no issues getting your inspection down there in Harris County...
