6.0 pistons and crank

Who makes a good set of pistons for the chevy 6.0? I am going .030 over on it and need to know fairly quick.

Will a 5.7 f-body crank work and work properly in a 6 liter block? Becuase of the length differences?

Diamond, off the shelf w/ may cc options. Speed inc has been good, and so has Texas, dont buy direct as we should support our sponsers and pricing will be better if not the same.

Diamond is a sponsor so calling them direct is not a problem. If you are going to use a 4in stroke I have a great set of 4.060 diamond pistons I would sell cheap! PM me or email me for details if you are interested.

I was gonna try and use the stock stroke if i could. i am going to be putting a f-body ls1 crank in it. So imagine the pistons will not work with that stroke will they?

The 6.0 and 5.7 cranks are the same. The only difference is the 5.7 (LS1 & LS6) cranks are hollow in the center of the mains and rod journals. The 6.0 crank is completely solid.

I have a new 6.0 crank if your looking to buy

I already have a new gm 5.7 crank. The 99 6.0 block i i have, the crank in it i was told to replace it with a 5.7 fbody becuase of something about the fly wheel.
