if the 6.0 ran when you bought it, I wouldnt mess with freshening anything. Just install the cam, matching pushrods & valve springs.Id just get the 317s milled to bump your compression up. LQ4s only have 9.4:1. Get the milled enough to get to 11.1-11.4:1 compression.
With a good cam, 11.1CR, headers & catback, & a LS6 intake, and a dynotune, you would be over 400rwhp.
Im running a stock LQ9 6.0 (77k on it) which come with 10.1 compression from the factory. All I did was install a baby LS6 cam, LS6 springs, LS6 intake, cheap pacesetter headers & a slp catback and it put down 380/380 with the 3.90 gears. Runs great and drives 100% stock.
