Finally got to drive it with the 6.0/4l80 combo. This thing is an absolute riot now. The 5.3 used to alway have good top end, this thing with just a little throttle likes to party..

How's that cam sound? I don't think I've heard a sound clip of one yet. Not too much for the combo apparently. What stall did 'ya pick?

Picked-up a <200k 6.0/4l80e. Going to clean-up the 243's off my Envoy & trying to decide on a cam/converter now.

This was with the 5.3 short block and the same heads.
I went with a 3200. I do think that has a lot do with how different it feels now. I honestly feel like later I would do a slightly milder cam. We’ll see how it plays with the turbos.

Nice chop. Thanks for the insight. What's the turbo set-up plan?
My young-gun co-hort is Jonsing to just start w/a single but I'm more 'lets get the LS swap done first & then upgrade/change stuff'.

Twin 67/66.
Just waiting on a couple more part before I start putting it together. I would also like to do some N/a passes to see where it’s at now with the 6.0

Finished the power steering leak last weekend and buttoned up the leaking water neck this morning. Had to replace it with a 15° swivel as the old one was touching the sending unit for the fans.
Then a wash, gas and out for a cruise.

What trans do you have on the engine? Is there a reason for the bigger? trans pan? MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL from Jack And Oleta in Winter Haven, FL
Hey John, running the turbo 350 that I had mated to the sbc for the bbc. It was built by a long time stock car transmission builder so I'm confident it will hold.
