Have to swap the cover, the cam, the timing gear etc. I suppose you could run the VVT cam static but regardless Im a BIG fan of VVT it makes great power when tuned properly. Taking it out is stepping backwards. If hes going to do that then Id just get an LQ9 6.0L and swap it in instead. Cheaper, easier, make about the same power and easier to cam

 

no the LQ4/9 wont work he'd have more money in machine work.

he has to run a GEN IV 6.0-6.2
if it was me and i had a chance to start fresh. id buy a front mount turbo!!!!

 

Machine work? What exactly needs machining first Ive heard of this too

 

Okay so are we in the same Page now? And I'm still confuse on what I'm going to Do. Niff how would u do your front mount turbo? Details?

 

Mines not a far cry from ^^ set up

 

LQ4/9 is a 24x reluctor wheel vs the 58x reluctor wheel that the 07+ trucks need. you have to pull the crank and have the wheel pressed off then the new one pressed on, change the timing gear, front cover, redrill the side of the block to mount the newer knock sensors bc the GEN III block has them under the valley cover

 

id buy a KB kit since he has some on sale right now id look into a 72mm bc IF you were to build a 6.0/370 later you wouldnt have a baby turbo. run stock 3" exhaust with a cut out
also if you was to do a KB kit get random cold parts so you can fab your own. if you had a TIG machine id weld the pipes vs couplings for less places for the pipe to blow out

 

Only the first two years of 6.0L ran the 24x then they switched to the 58x

 

Agreed 72 would be perfect! Especially if you order from KB you can get advised on the best trim to suit your needs, As in less lag more bottom end or screaming insane'o whatever you want. But 72mm would be sweeeeeet

 

you are wrong
99-07 classic 6.0 (LQ4/9) is 24x
07+ 6.0 (LY6,L76,LS2) is a 58x
