so is this truck 6.0 pretty much the same thing as like an ls2 but just a cast block. so normal ls heads will work, i guess the truck heads are not quite tuned to run in a car or go very fast

hahaha yeah, well I will be finding out shortly what pistons are in that thing. thanks alot!

dish= lq4
flat top= lq9
lq9 is like a iron ls2, if u want to call it that, but not really since ls2 is gen4 and siamese bore engine, where lq9 circulates coolant around cylinders
