Re: 4.8/5.3/6.0 Same as 5.7 LS1

The 4.8/5.3/6.0 engines are based off the LS1. I don't know if you coudl take LS6 heads and bolt them on to a 5.3 without some kind of modding (I mean you have to realize the valve sizes will probably be different, and so will the compression, and no doubt the cam).

I do know SLP has a short block that is a 402 stroker (I think it makes a 402), anyways, its an LQ4/LQ9 block (the 6.0 high output engine) that uses a 4 inch crank and pistons. They claim the engine is good for about 500 hp or so with the LS6 heads.
