Question Will 5.3 heads work on a 6.0 block

THis kind of goes along with another thread I posted, but its more succint.

I have some ported/valved 5.3 heads and an Iron 6.0 truck block. Can I just bolt on the 5.3 heads without major compression issues (stock pistons)
Cam will be in the 224-234 at .050 range.

THanks

The 5.3 heads will bolt on just fine, but without knowing anything the engine or what you consider "major compression issues", I couldn't give you any advice.

What CR are you shooting for? Have theads been milled at all? What headgasket?

Heads have not been milled. Sorry, I put so much in the other post, I didn't mention in this one. Fel-Pro 1041 gaskets. 93 octane, street driver
