Did you use factory heads? That painted intake and motor looks great.

Man this thing runs great, tons of torque. It sounds meaner when you rev it up too.

I took the heads off, and blended the valve seats in with the ports.

Sounds like a pretty cool swap! Is there more usable power to be gained by this swap over an LS1, LS6? Also, what kind of intake manifold is that? Just a stock coated one, or what?

Motor lifting

To lift the front I used a braket that came with the 6.0, it looks an egr flange. For the back I took the factory braket off the back of the head, and drilled a hole in it for a hook.

I would say yes, the 6.0 will make more torque, and thats what you need to move a heavy truck. You can get a 6.0 cheaper then an LS1 too.

The intake is just a stock manifold that I painted.
