Just swapped a 6.0 into my 68 camaro and now want to put an ls into my 64 nova ss. I can get a ls6 (405hp) for a reasonable price, build a 6.0 for bout same price or save up for ls3, 427 or lsx. Could be a while for one of those.
Got a 5.3 for my 65 chevelle conv. Going to leave that one civilized so the old lady can drive it, hehe. And still sport the 327 flags
What you guy think?

I just got a ls2 for my 1963 impala, and i was thinking about getting a ls3 or building a 427 I guess the only reason for me doing so is bragging and know that i have a bigger motor. i really dont even know what kind of performance this stock 6.0 will have in my car. I been thinking will weight of the make it feel like the 327 and then i been thinking maybe a ls3 will feel better, lol

Sell the Chevelle and build a turbo LSX tall deck for the Nova! Just my 2 cents.

Redrumls

Lol!.. Lsx would be sweet! I'd probally kill myself! I'd hate to sell the chevelle, old cars are getting harder to find especially a vert. I always liked the 65 chevelles. I got some other things I can sell.

What are your goals?

If it is a resto mod 64 Nova I'd do the LS6 with a cam and maybe a FAST intake. An aluminum block LS6 in the lightweight Nova making 420-450rwhp would be alot of fun.

Agreed, if you plan to throw a cam and bolt ons and be done id go with the LS6......if you wanna do major stuff, like turbo or blower etc id go with the higher displacement 6.0.

ls3 all the way, its just an all around better platform

LY6 best bang for the buck hands down

Going with the ls6! Getting one for $1800 & I can't pass it up. I'll start a build thread when I get started. Finishing up me 68 camaro 6.0 swap

I did a 6.0 first and an L92 short later when they got cheaper. The aluminum blocks are so much lighter! And the bigger bore helps the L92 heads breathe better in case that's what you had in mind.

I've got a different L92 short block for sale in the classifieds pretty cheap.

Just a nit pick, but the 5.3 is a 325, not a 327
