I put some cool white leds in my puddle lights. Once it gets darker I'll try to grab a pic.

So have been thinking about doing a head and cam swap. A set of 799/243 heads and a small cam. Still need to keep this dd and towing friendly. I must admit I do miss the power of the str8.

Have you done the 6.0 swap? Curious how the ls2 heads compare to the LQ4 truck version.

I have an LS1 with patriot heads and LS7 camshaft in it. The guy I bought it from did the work so not sure exact specs. The motor is in my corvette. I can break tires with 3rd to 4gh gear shift pretty consistently.

Before that built a LT1 with big cam, full 1.6 roller rockers, and I ported and polished heads. That sucker really moved too.

Yes I did the 6.0 swap. It was super easy. Just had have the computer flashed for the 6.0. The biggest difference is the camber size between the 243/799 heads and the 317 heads. 243/799 heads have a 64cc chamber and 317 heads have a 71cc chamber.
Are your patriot heads ported stocks ones? My ls1 in my camaro is stock internals. Has a fast 92/92 intake combo , lt heads , ory , magnaflow catback , clear lid , and a 100 shot of nitrous. Traction sucks though...lol.

So by doing a head swap I would basically end up with lq9 compression. Which I believe is 10.5 instead of 9.5 that lq4 has.

Got rid of the amber in the tail lights. Looks so much better.
