Maybe by weight.

I guess I could look up part numbers from GM, thought someone might have a quick answer
When you look at the heads...they aren't aluminum....

GenIII' could have iron heads for the first year or two. 99/2k trucks could have iron heads, at least on the 6.0's. After that, they pretty much went all to aluminum heads. All joking aside, if it has iron heads, its usually worth walking away from.

A 4.8/5.3 will look the same, but the 6.0's will have a "6.0" stamping on them.
