Re: Glock's new project: "Fred" w/ 5.3L LS swap info
Quote:
I can get the whole 6.0 engine and the new L92 heads for right about what a better set of aluminum cylinder heads cost for the big block. It is definitely getting EFI so that will add quite a bit to the big block expense. Add in the massive weight savings of the LSx engines over the big block and it is a no contest decision. I will probably do a stock 6.0 / 4L80E swap to get it on the road then upgrade the heads, cam & intake later on. Maybe in a few years there will be a more L92 & LS3 engines around used so getting the all aluminum 6.2 with the better heads already on it will be easier and less expensive.
