Just wondering why your choices are a std bore ls1 or a .060 over 6.0?

Well since the LQ4 will have stock heads and cam I'd go with the 799 heads, cam and LS1 setup then

I went with a .065" over 6.0L; no regrets here. I'm actually in the process of swapping out the old 241 heads and putting on 799 heads.

Why such a huge overbore for a block you havent even sourced?

You bore it to clean up the cyl walls for ring seal, not extra displacement. Going from std to the max is a waste and the block will be scrap if you ever need to overhaul it again
