What 6.0 heads are you getting? If its the 317 you are going to loose CR and thats not gonna be good for you camj. If anything take your heads yyou have have bigger valves and a good port job and mill the heads to bump up the CR to better suit the cam. Then when your done with that get a stall.

you don't need to polish head ports if ported right.flow the heads be fore you order a cam.what head casting do you have ?little motors don't like big cams.you have a heavy truck ,you need torque .54-455-11 .
