this is my second engine swap from the original 5.7 TBI it came with in 91 - currently being pulled out 358ci SBC

I just picked up a LQ4 6.0 with 70k miles on it - I have a built 700R4 with 3500 stall and I'm stuck deciding to just cam it or change/upgrade the heads/intake?? If I stay with the 317 heads I know I'll need to upgrade the pushrods and springs (suggestions???) been talking to comp cams about a 228/234 .627/.602 112 - I'm interested in a choppy idle with strong power thru 6000+rpm

should I mill my heads and get a thin gasket to up compression or spend the money to swap out to a 799/243? If I swap do I need a new intake?

I'm also having trouble finding headers - there are a lot of LS swap headers for 2WD OBS but I'm not finding any for 4WD - mechanic doing the swap said to get a shorty or mid length and he can make the bends the rest of the way..

lastly should I keep my stock injectors or go to the 8.1L injectors?

Looking at $964.59 for the cam,pushrods,and spring kit - sound about right?

Still trying to find out if anyone has had any luck with a production header to go on a 4WD yet? I'm tempted to just get the ones for a 2WD and modify them but I'd rather get something that will fit out of the box...

finally got the motor I'm going to use and started pulling the old carb 350 out

I'm going to need a wiring harness and throttle body for this engine.

I got dirty dingo mounts, SS shorty headers, 4L80E transmission, new gauges..

Go to LS1truck.com a lot of info on your swap.

I've been there and read myself in circles - was just wondering what other people have used doing this swap and how they made out?
