Stock 6.0 heads aren't going to flow like your ported patriots.

#317 6.0 heads have the same intake port as a stock ls6 head but the chamber is 72cc compared to like 64 for the ls6 so with a 6.0 shortblock you"ll have 9.5 CR,you could mill them to raise the CR , but the Patriot heads would be better. The 6.0 heads are great for blower or turbo motors because they need lower CR.You can sell them for more $ then #241 ls1 heads .
