Default Heads on a 6.0?

i've got a 6.0 shortblock im going to put into my rcsb and it is head-less right now. i won't be anything to special my 221 cam and a stall etc.

my question is what heads and head gaskets should i go with?

I thought i could just use the heads off my 5.3 with 6.0 head gaskets, does this sound allright? compression?

Another question i know the 4.8 and 5.3 heads have 1.89" intake valves correct, well i have some 2.00" valves i can put in there, is this worth it? will i have to modify the head any?

thanks guys

Get a set of PP 6.0 with chamber of your choice, much better and not bad for $1300. Just make sure you get the Ferrea valves.

sorry guys its a truck, no one will respond in the truck forums very often. i don't have 1300 to spend.

i just want to know if it will be okay to use a set of 5.3 heads on a 6.0 and use the 6.0 gaskets?
