Re: Who has put on 6.0 heads I used the MLS 6.0L gaskets. You'll need new heads bolt or go the ARP stud route.
No problems thus far.
I milled mine 0.030 and with 2.02/1.60 Ferrea valves installed the chamber volume was 63.5 cc.
Since the Ferrea valves don't have as much (or any) dimple on their face as the stockers they helped to reduce chamber volume. Something to keep in mind if you are changing valves and want to keep a large chamber for your boosted set up.

Re: Who has put on 6.0 heads I was told you use 5.7L head gaskets with 6.0L heads that are milled down. What do i use on a stock piston 5.7 car that's getting milled 6.0L heads?
