      I do not believe that a 6.0L block can be bored out enough to accommodate the stock 6.2L piston, but I am not 100% sure. The simplest thing would be to just get a new LS3 or LSA block. The LSA block will have piston squirters which might be a great upgrade.

      Yeah, it is super unfortunate Andrew. But chit happens I guess. That's good to know about the CV bolts. I'll have to check the one on my C10 to make sure they're still tight.



      I was aware the 6.0L couldn't take the LS3 pistons (I guess it could but I've been reading about the need to sonic test the block before boring that much) but I wasn't sure about the rest of the components. I'm still on the fence about just replacing the block or building a stouter short block with the 6.0L. The 6.0L idea will cost a bit more than just replacing the block, but it will have more cubes and an all forged bottom end along with ARP bolts.
