Default Re: 6.0 liter heads

Yes the later heads are aluminum. They are typically a 70-71 cc combustion chamber and the intake and exhaust ports are identical to the LS6. I would suspect they would drop compression by a good .5-.-6.

They are great for a superchargered or NOS motor where you can use the head flow and lower compression.

Some on here claim there is differences in port design also between 6.0 and LS6. I have yet to mess with 6.0 heads, so i cant back that.

Default 6.0 liter heads

How well do the 6.0 liter heads flow? How much do they drop compression? Are they aluminum or cast iron? Is there anything else I should know about them?
thanks
