it'll all fit. Why not order something better? For that kind of money you could get a aftermarket long block etc........ you won't gain more than you have with an ls6. You'll make more power with aftermarket heads and a cam.

Why on earth would you do that? Pretty near complete waste of money considering what the aftermarket could build you for the same kind of scratch.

An LS6 would be a total waste of money. If you are set on putting another motor in there, go with an LS2 stroker.
