Piston Selection for a Budget 6.0L build? Hey Everyone.
I found a smokin deal on a 2003 6.0L Block, that im going to pick up to replace the 2003 5.3L block in my iroc.
From what ive read, i know i can re-use every shortblock part in my 5.3L other then the pistons.
Id like to re-use my rods if possible, as my 5.3L has about 5k on it. Are the pistons in my '03 5.3L a press fit pin??
If so, which 4.000" bore pistons would work great with my rods & be decently cheap?
I may see if i can find some stock 6.0L pistons that i could put in, that way i know it would work fine.
All help greatly appreciated.
