Default 6.0 swap

is it worth it to swap out my pretty much new LS1 wth cam and boltons for a 6.0 the 6.0 will have ported heads and i will put a cam in it. the reason i am wanting to do this is i have recently got a good deal on a vortec V-2 kit for a 6.0. i am sure i can make te charger work on the LS1 but what would the power differance be and ect....

No replacement for displacement.

If you're interested in a LS2 long block with after market heads and cam, let me know. I'm having a custom LSX455 being built right now and the motor should be coming out in 7-12 days. It has low mileage and made great power with the fast 90, ported tb and LT headers.

Yes, Dustin, it is worth it. You need to let me stroke the crap out of that 6.0 and sell me that V-2! I will try to sell your LS1 for you.

I would definentely go with a 6.0L

I have seen quite a few 6.0L's in the junk yards in rollover suv's for like $800.00 to $1,000.00.
There are alot of them out there.... Good Luck
