6.0l upgrades Looking to put a LS1 engine in a 70 Chevelle. Would like to go with a LQ4 6.0l possibly. I can't seem to find too much info on this engine when modded, looking for power figures. I DID try a search for this engine. Even after i had a 6.0l thread showing onscreen (Impala thread) search still came back "0" 
. Car will not be a daily driver, will have an auto, with a 12 bolt 4.10 rear. Looking to see if it is beneficial to start with a 6.0l instead of the 5.7l for the buildup. Will be full bolton only, with exception of a lopey cam, stock heads on either engine. Will have no emissions on engine nor will it have a/c, just the necessities. Would be happy with a minimum of 400 rwhp. I know that most 5.7 parts fit the 6.0, but no power figures are ever given. 
Thanks BDUB

Stock LQ9's (6.0) dyno around the 345-ish region due to the bigger cubes and better flowing heads than a stock LS1 engine. It would definitely be a much better start with a 6.0 being that a stroke to 4.000" and bore to .030 over (making it a 408) are very common and will let you easily hit the 400 rwhp mark you're looking for.
