Default What can I use off my 4.8?

If I were to get a 6.0 long block what would be transferable over from a complete 4.8?

if you'd do a little searching. . . . everything, but the long block, other than that everything swaps over.

now if it's a 99-00 block, then stay away from it.

correct everything but the short block will swap over. you will want to stay with the complete 6.0 longblock but if you really had to you could use the 4.8 heads for now

all that you're doing is swaping long blocks, nothing else . . . .
