Default Need 6.0L built

Hello, New to the forum I want to do a 6.0 swap into a 07 NNBS Silverado but after some research and speaking with a couple people, Maybe best to just have one built and then swap out the 4.8 and tuning and done. Can I get some ideas on who in the Tampa area would be the best to do this.

Thanks, David

that's easy, All Ameican Street Car Performance in Largo. just a little south of you right off of US 19. He helped a lot on my Mustang. Right now there must be over 8 LS swaps gong on there. Has chassis dyno also.

no write up, it's probably one of the first LS Mustangs around, over 14 years now. It was one of the best kept secrets back then. Realize it's been a sleeper, I run 10 holes, no visible gauges at all, all steel, full stock interior and a/c

this is with the 102 intake. I have a Fast 92 on it now. Going to wait about a month before I pull it out. I know most people would like to hear and drive what their buying.
