Default 6.0 iron block

Can someone give me some different website I can look at to get a lot of information on a 6.0L iron block swap?

Pretty much exact, other than the alternator bracket will be missing one bolt on the left and you have to drill and tap the top right bolt hole in the block. Other than that all the sensors and covers interchange.

you do not even have to do that, I'm running mine with 650rwhp on juice and no issues.

Thanks for responding guys! What kind of internals and heads are people running? How well would the stock rotating assembly do with a bigger cam a good set of heads and spray?

the stock crank will take 900hp but you will definitely want to go with some h-beam rods and forged pistons.

Other than drilling and tapping for the alternator, I also had to make a new mount for the driver side O2 wire hanger and there is a ground hole on the passenger side that does not exist ( that I could find) on the iron block. I had to use a motormount bolt to ground the wire.

I used a 6.0 Block for my setup..I'm not goin *****-to-the-wall crazy like some of these guys..but it does pretty damn good.

You have to drill that one spot for the Alternator Bracket Bolt, and that's pretty much all I had to do with that aspect of it.
