Re: 5.3 or 6.0 Conversion

The potential for power from these motors are much higher than your average GEN I SBC. You can take a stock 6.0l block, crank, forged rods and pistons and get over 1000rwhp. I haven't seen too many stock 350 blocks or cranks that can handle that abuse. You can squeeze 10-12psi of boost on a completely stock motor and make 500-650 rwhp. Depending on your driving style you should be able to get a little better gas mileage than what the 5.3 or 6.0 came out of because you can eliminate alot of unneccesary smog stuff.
