Only thing different that's needed is the GM 6.0 gaskets rather than the 5.7 gaskets. Everything else pretty much transfers over.

LPE told me they would NEVER consider putting 6.0 head gaskets on a 5.7l block. FWIW.

I have been using the 6.0L headgaskets no problem on my ls6 block. So do alot of boosted people. You should have no problems. I dont know about LPE but many others use the same MLS gaskets with no problems.
