Will a T-REX clear in a 6.0??? I am asking this b/c I have one brand new complete 6.0 that I want to throw in my Z28. I was also wondering if I flycut the pistons and mill the heads 50 thousands could this possibly work??? I am asking this because the compression of the 6.0 is low. This is also using the stock valves of course with a very good valve job.

Yes, the base circle is the same, it will slide right in.
You need to check your PTV clearance to make sure you have plenty, I don't even think you have to mill the heads down, my car has TREX on a 6.0 408 stroker with stockish heads, I have pretty big valve releifs in my pistons, and HPE did the PTV clearancing on my setup for me.
Make sure you get good springs

P/V clearance is what I'm trying to verify, but I am running stock pistons and want more compression for better performance. I just wondered if it'd clear on stock heights w/o flycutting, and if I wanted to mill the heads would it be sufficient if I flycutt the pistons?? I want compression to be around 11:1.

I can shift faster than you.

The cam will work just fine with stock, unmilled 6.0l heads. You will need to flycut if you plan on getting the heads milled, or at a VERY minimum check PtV after the milling/valvejob see where you stand. The valvejob may sink the valve further into the head (depending on the shop that performs this), thus giving you more clearance.

I have the LQ9. All should pan out. Hopefully she'll scream.
