I heard 6.0's are gas hogs compared to a 5.7, and, if .3 makes the hog, I can do without the .3 hog. I only want around 380hp @ 6k rpm and all the torque I can gobble up in between. However, I do not want it at any price. I want to match parts that will give me the most efficient engine possible to complete the burn before it leaves the cylinders. Not sure if thats a conundrum or not, but, we will see when the dust settles.

I agree. 6.0 came mostly in trucks and trucks just weigh a lot...less MPG of course. Total BS if generally applied to 6.0. 6.0 Vettes and GTOs got good gas mileage comparatively when tuned right.

Just from this post, I can tell you have a lot more learning and maturing to do. Do a lot more reading about this topic and you will find a GMHTP article about how it is not worth it to swap a v8 into a v6 4th gen

I wasnt sure, I thought it might be bunk, but, still looking around.

Who said I was mature? Just because someone makes a post doesn't mean they know exactly what they want. If you want to put it in proverbial terms, and, this is how "I" feel, I am still sucking on the nipple of a bottle. I have a LONG way to go before I can crawl, walk and THEN mature with my goal that I have not even really set yet.

And, just for the record, its changed to a E36/LS1 swap.

Used F-body parts are so cheap I'm considering building an ugly super cheap car using only used parts. Maybe 2, a drag car and a SM autoX car.
