have few ??s ....just bought a 6.0
i just bought a 6.0l out of a denali. it was a 12000 mile pull out due to cold weather piston slap. it was a friends denalis and i personally heard the noise. it wasnt all that bad, as i have heard worse. but i am wondering what to do about the heads. should i port the 6.0s or get some 5.3/5.7 heads. should i change the rods, or just the pistons. i am putting the motor in something to play with on the street with a carborated set up. i am planning on doin a cam as well. it will also have a 150 hp shot of gas or even a 200 maybe at times. i work at a shop and do mostly older style sbc stuff. this is all new to me.
thanks for the help

I did the same thing, so if I were you I'll rebuild it. The rings were bad on mine. its worth doing so. I have a 2002 lq4 Bored .40 over and instead of the truck heads I'm using 2002 ls1 stock heads for the higher compression. Also ls6 intake, cam it up and look out...
