Yup, like I said, the 6.0 is the way to go. Pretty much any good aftermarket head (short of the LS7s) will be GTG on the 6.0 block. The bore size is up just enough.

Take a look at the L92 heads, read articles on ported L92 heads. You can make SERIOUS power out of them. (ported L92 heads, headers, and a mild cam should get you to 500hp, easy.)

I've already begun the search for an LS motor, but haven't been able to find one.

I just thought about something. There's a problem bolting up the T56 to a LQ4/9 engines. Something with the crank being to long or something.
