Default 6.0L Iron Block from Truck Questions?

Could this be used in a 4th gen F-body? Could you use LS2 parts such as heads/cam, ect.? And if it could fit in a 4th gen, what could you do if you wanted longtubes? (reasonably, I know I could get them customed made...)

Yes, it's the same as any other LS GEN III block. So those parts will interchange easier. The only problem is it's a freaking boat anchor, you should use a LS2 block instead. The 6.0L truck block is good for lots of boost or N2O, ie W2W's Casper setup.

yea well this is a budget build. college student who is tired of slow LT1. Plus I have to buy a DD or a bike. If i didn't I could buy the LS2 block, but **** happens. My old man is gonna go half and half on me with this since I am helping him with his Chevelle project so it works out awesome in my case.

you can get a ls2 block for 950 or so if you look.
new iron block is 600 ish, but you may already have a deal on a block, just an option.
everything will bolt up, but you will have to tap a hole out to fit the alternator bracket, AFAIK.
