6.0L has a bore of 4", while the 5.7L has 3.9"

All the other dimensions are the same.

4" borex3.622" stroke=364cu in

Harlan, so if I get a 6L iron block I can basically swap over the complete assemblies minus the pistons? Other than P.O.S. pushrods, and rodbolts what else should be addressed for the transformation? I know the iron weighs more, but what is a ballpark power figure assuming compression remains the same and all else equal? Do the bigger cams work better due to higher cylinder volume? My end result would be blown or turbo'd, so any help is appreciated. If the power is significant, I might stay just spraying...

Default 6.0L Buildup ???

OK, if I want to build up a 6L for street/strip use, does the LS1 rotating ***'m, heads and intake all fit this, or do I have to get all new sh*t. Whats the c.i. if using the 6L and any other pertinent info. TIA.
