Default 6.0 ls advice
Hello I am new to this site. I need advice/help with a project. I just removed a 6.0 from a 2002 Silverado 2500 pick up with 170k on the odometer. Truck ran good before I pulled motor. I plan on putting the motor into my 66 Chevelle. What is the best thing to do to this motor for power and longevity. I would like to get at least 500hp out of it. Do any of you have any good links to send me regarding this swap? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
