What is needed to do this? And what are some go fast parts that I can bolt up to the stock 6.0 to make some good power?

Everything is pretty much the same. All you would have to change is accessories, and even the stock truck stuff may work.

What your F-Body ?... Late or early.?. that 6.0L should be a Gen III with a 24x wheel. Should be a simple swap if the F-body was 97 or later. You can swap everything over from your current setup.

If early or a V6, you will need to get A K-Member, accessories, wiring, ecm, etc from a donner late F-body. or you can try modding everything to work.

It would be going into a 98 z/28

That is pertty much a direct replacement.. they are both Gen III engine.. just swap over the accessories and sensors.. intake, water pump, oil pan, etc. and your done. get some minor tweek on the tune. swap in a cam and your doing 11's to 12's no problem.

Only issues would be the one missing threaded boss for the Alternator bracke. Just drill and tap it. Maybe Flywheel/flex plate... ?

Your gain will just be more.. more weight (about 80 lbs ?) and more displacement.

Cheap way out, get a set of ls6 springs and a mild cam. You should be golden! How many miles on the 6.0? Throw rings in for ***** n gigs.

Depends on how much you want to spend..

I would get it to atleast 10.75:1 Comp and throw a decent Cam in it, and bolt-ons.

Fbody accessories are a must, will need to drill & tap that one for the Alternator.

Well I take that back I swapped every car I had..just had to pay for everything once..

Ya Cammin it while its out of the car would be the easiest.

I’m doing this same swap at the moment, I lucked out finding a 6.0 block with 1K miles, and a fully build bottom end, From what I’ve learned basically everything from your LS should swap straight over no problem, I’m going with 799 for heads, but it depends on if you plan on running boost...
