In need of help with my engine build 5.7 block swap to 6.0 but still use 5.7 ls1 top So I threw a rod thru my 5.7 block on my 2000 ss camaro slp car 130,000 miles so I found a 6.0 out of a 2005 chevy Silverado I'm just wondering will I be able to use my top end from my ls1 knowing a rod shot thru the side of the block? Need info asap don't wanna spend money 1000x sort of on a budget build as of now wanna just swap the blocks out how many horses am i looking to get with a Ls1 top end with a lq9 6.0 block

Kool so that means all I have to do I take all my top end pieces and remove the 6.0 heads to the 241s I have on the ls1 intake fuel rails etc shouldn't have to tear the block down for modification right ?

So is it safe to say with the 6.0 after I change top end to ls1 I should have a pretty good amount of power even with out throwing a cam on there just yet right knowing the 6.0 has more compression then the 5.7?

That cam won't have a choppy idle at all but it will make a little more power than the stock cam. Will you be running an aftermarket exhaust or any other bolt on mods?
