I have been planning on a 5.3 or 6.0 but I got an offer on a 502 today for $750. Would it be worth it on a rcsb 5 speed? I don't know much about the 502. Is it a gen III also or is it something different?
8.1 < 6.0 by FAR!!

yes and what exact motor are u talking about??? the 8.1 big block out of the 00-07 3/4 ton 1 ton is a 8.1l or a 496 not a 502, also THIS SWAP IS A PAIN!!!!! ive done one or tried i guess u could say me and the kid that i was helping split ways before it was finished, and still does not run. but for the money that it would cost to do a 8.1 u should just build a lq4 408 stroker, also what do u have 4.3 or 4.8 if 4.8 they arnt that bad i dont see a huge advantage over a 5.3 but they both can go up to a 383 stroker

8100 and 502 are barely distantly related but would bolt in the same.

well yea, it will be a lot of work tho.
I guess doing that (383 stroker) will be better than swaping to a 6.0L... right? Will my cam work fine on that engine?
