5.7 or 6.0 opinions

[slb1985]

Ok so I have decided not to build my tbi motor, instead gonna start planning a motor swap but would like to know what are your opinions on these 2 swaps. Would like to know about ease of swap, driveablity, finding either at a reasonable cost, and personal preferance with reasons why please. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Take a look in the LSx forum for LOTS of answers.

Are you asking about the 5.7 gen1 small block vs. the 6.0 gen III motors? If so, Go LS all the way. Better engine, more power, better fuel economy, etc. Definately check out the engine and drivetrain section in the LS Swap section for all kinds of good stuff.

My bad. I saw 5.7 and my mind read 5.3. The 5.7 is a great motor and not a bad conversion. If you have a choice between the two, go 6.0.

which 5.7 are you referring to?

The first of the Generation IIIs, the LS1 was the progenitor of the new architecture design that would transform the entire Chevy V8 line and influence the last of the Big Blocks.
5.7 L
GM LS1 engine from the Chevrolet Camaro
GM LS1 engine from the Chevrolet Corvette C5

The 5.7 L shares little other than similar displacement, external dimensions, and rod bearings, with its predecessor. It is an all-aluminium 5,665 cc (5.665 L; 345.7 cu in) pushrod engine with a bore of 3.9 in (99.1 mm) and a stroke of 3.62 in (91.9 mm)

Ok smarty pants, to clarify I was referring to "5.7 gen1 small block", not the LS Gen III version

That wasn't directed to you Ken, I was trying to get the OP to clarify his question
