    Would there be a benifit to putting on the 6.0 intake with injectors right now, and are the coil packs the same as a 5.3?

    370 is just a .030 overbore, coil packs are the same unless its an LQ9. Injectors are the same. If it cleans up with a hone, there is a bajillion piston choices for the 4.00 inch bore, and you will find exactly what you want.

    If you want to go back stock I have a few LQ4 pistons. I can send you one for shipping. Your engine should be a LQ4 if it came from a van. I have a set of 317 heads I would sell for like $40 too. I would recommend new valve seals in them and clean them up before installing.

    6.0 intake is the same. Coils may or may not be the same. Unless they are D585s I wouldn't bother.

    Thanks for the info!! I think I will go with the 370 and use my 862 heads, I believe I will net more compression from what I remember reading? PitchBackC3, I may still get those from you anyway. That also gives me an option to go back to stock, but my plan is to race, just with a LOW budget for now. This is just a start for me and will go bigger when I can.

    Just PM me if you decide you want the stuff. I'd like for somebody that can use it to have it and I need to start getting rid of a bunch of stuff. Moving in November.

    Sounds good. I know others that would probably be interested soon enough.

    those heads dont flow very well, but i agree with the budge build idea. take the block to a machine shop that builds motors and see what they say they can do with the cylinder. maybe a hone and rering it with maybe new main bearings and cam bearings while you're there and its apart. just an idea. take your 5.3 heads and the mild cam you have run that combo until you save up some money for better heads/intake swap/cam swap should be a stoute DD and fun to drive/race.
