Default 4.8 swap to 6.0

I currently have a 4.8l, 4l60e 4x4 trans. Roughly 200k on the OD. Looking to do a swap soon to a 6.0, and I have been wondering between these three as of right now LQ9, LQ4, and a L76. Pretty new to whats going on. Needing some help on pricing, kits i may need, what trans to go with, and best places to look for performance modifications. Thanks!

LQ4 and LQ9 are going to be the best choices of those three.
Keep your 4L60 till it breaks imo
Texas Speed has good kits and so does Summit Racing
What's your budget?

I would just buy an LQ4 for like 1500 or so. Forget the trans unless you are wanting to do a 4L80 swap at the same time.

You are probably looking at around 2000-2500 for both an engine and trans.
