Default this 6.0 hype better be worth it

well i won a complete 6.0l off ebay from a member on tech last night. so it looks like i will be building up a 6.0l to put my 122 on. my 5.3 is running well with the 122 on it but i felt the the 6.0l was to good to pass up. it comes with the wire harness which i might use to put a 5.3 in my 87 sierra.

but as for the 6.0 it will be getting all the goodies to make it boost friendly, but over some time. so hopefully in the spring the truck will have some more power and a custom suspension.

No replacement for displacement (Period) Probably a 2 year time frame but I'm researching/planning my next power up mods. Its base will be a 6.0L.

Congrats on the 6.0, I'm sure you won't be disappointed. The potential is much greater, although the 5.3s are strong little motors though. How much did you land yours for?
