Dressing a 6.0 longblock with LM7 parts? I have a new 6.0 longblock with 317 heads in the crate that I want to use in a 39 Chevy.
Can I use everything off of a fully dressed LM7 takeout that I have to complete the 6.0? Any interchange issues with the intake or the accessory drive parts?
I'm thinking that the only thing I'd need to do is reprogram the ECU with a 6.0 tune. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
Thanks, Ken

The truck motors use all the same parts externally 4.8/5.3/6.0L. Intakes injectors etc... Eveything interchanges.
Now some of the early 4.8/5.3 99-2000 had smaller injectors. But after that they were the same.

Ok, thanks. The 5.3 is a 2005 Flex Fuel so I know it's got the big injectors. Now I need to decide if I need the extra HP and torque of the 6.0...
