I will likely be touching 7000+ rpm from time to time (due to cam size) and anywhere near 7000rpm's I don't trust stock lifters to hold up. While I have the heads off I may as well throw in some Morels...better to do it now than regret not doing it later.
I'm using the LS6 intake because of where I believe this cam is going to produce power.... up top. I like torque too... but dont need much in such a little truck that wont be used for towing.
Thank you! Neither can I!!
I look forward to seeing the numbers you put down with those heads.. the look great! Good luck.

Yeah
There are guys that have done an LSx swap in their S-10's that have kept the truck accessories. I chose to go with the corvette accessories just for the extra space for the radiator and e-fans!
You can use an LS1/LS6 manifold on the truck without changing accessories but you have to relocate your idler pulley and cut part of your alternator bracket. That's what I remember about it at least.
