Default Couldnt find answer to 6.0 heads question

All I want to know is if the 6.0 heads directly replace the stock 5.7 LS1 heads? Will anything else need to be replaced, i.e. pushrods? How much will they lower the compression ratio?

Thanks for any input.

i know for a fact i answered this exact question only a few weeks ago

all gen 3 heads are interchangible, they all have the same deck thickness. only difference is combustion chamber and valve sizes (5.3 smaller intake). box stock 6.0 heads with a .052 gasket will put you @ 9.79 CR.

Im doing a custom setup with the help of some of my knowledgable buddies. To me, the kits were a little too pricey...in the end it may end up costing me the same with the addition of more headaches, but it will be fun
