Default Head Upgrade?!?!?!

I've been hearing alot about 6.0 and 5.3 heads. Are the guys talking about stock heads off of a 5.3 or 6.0 truck motor or what? The reason I'm asking is because my dad has a junkyard full of 5.3 and 6.0 motors, and if they add hp, I'll talk him out of a set!!!

The reason for porting the 5.3 heads is they have smaller combustion chambers which gets you about 1/2 point in compression without having to mill the heads. You have to be carefull with the 5.3 heads though, because you can run into PTV clearance issues with aggressive cams.

So can I just slap a set of 5.3 heads on my car?
