Man, that's going to be a sweat ride if you get it to work but you're going to need a sawzall and lifetime stock on band aides cramming that sucker in there to say nothing about servicing it, that's a tight fit isn't it?

When you do get in there, you gotta post a pic!

Good luck

a 6.0?

your better off getting a LS1 and then do the LS6 conversion to it. If you have your mind set on big displacement, bore that 347 .30 over and you are well on your way to big cubic inches. Or even a stroker kit. A 383 kit can give you more ponies than the 6.0 and have emore displacement at the same time, but a 6.0 would be cool...........
