I got my '99 sitting, and a 6.0 sitting. I was originally planning to build either a cam/heads 6.0. or a 408-427 stroker engine. Ive been through a few 4ljunks in my last truck with a cammed 6.0, so my original plans consisted of doing a 4l80 swap before beginning my engine build so I wouldnt get tempted.
Well, for now, Ive realized that Im a slight bit more responsible with my driving, and dont street race anymore. In addition most of the driving this truck sees is back and forth to work, or just a quick jaunt to the store.
Ive always had a theory that since the 4crap60's usually spit out during a shift that with the addition of a vette servo, billet OD servo and shift kit, that they could handle being DD'd with a 6.0 Even Chevy put the junk65 behind a 6.0
Well, since the RC is in limbo right now, Im thinking about dropping the 6.0 in a shift kit, servo'd TB stalled 170k mile truck.

Whats yalls opinion,
Cam and sport the 4.8 for a while (possibly a couple of years)
Drop the 6l in and hope the 60 holds
Just be paitient already and get a 80e then build what I want and dont enjoy the fun of blowing **** up

 

i say choice nuber 3.

 

#3 fa sho

 

Number 3

 

Damn yall. I havent even decided what I want to build. Guess Ill cam the 4.8 for now, and start looking for a 4l80 then decide if I want a heads/cam 6.0, 402, 408, or 427

 

quit being a woman and make up your mind.

 

Def number 3....I think you would be happier in the long run!

 

Whats to decide...Bigger the better right! haha

 

True, but someone poisioned my money tree

 

NA 6.0 and an FLT Level7 65E...at least that's what I'm planning on doing (FLT part is done already )
