From 6.0 To 6.2

[lovelessjl]

I know the 6.2has an aluminum block vs the 6.0's iron block. But does anyone know what the other differences are? I'm tempted to try using the 6.2 heads, cam, etc to get those nice power numbers without a complete engine swap. I guess I'm looking for pros/cons, required parts, and feasibility.

I'd do a cam swap and re-tune before attempting that. I think I've read the 6.2L head won't work on the 6.0 but I could be wrong.

The 6.2L uses the L92 heads and yes they will fit on a 6.0L. It's a very popular swap because of the outstanding flow of the L92 head in factory form. Due to the size of the intake valves of the L92 head (2.16in) they require a 4.0inch or larger cylinder bore which the 6.0L has. You do however have to change the intake manifold. The L92 head has rectangle intake ports and the 6.0L heads are a cathedral port design. You will need a 4 bolt (90mm) throttle body as the older 3 bolt style will not swap over to the L92 manifold. Also you would need and X-link to plug between the factory throttle body wire harness and the new style throttle body. The intake valve rocker arms are offset so you will need 8 of those along with new rocker stands as well. I would not use the factory 6.2L cam though. Do some research on aftermarket cams for the 6.0L with L92 heads. There are a lot out there. A popular one is the Comp 224* 230* .580 .588 112lsa. The setup with a good cam usually puts you in the 500hp range.

Good info. I never implied to use the 6.2L cam just to set the record straight. And obviously its not just a straight swap.

SOOOO...What can we do to get 500 plus HP out of our 6.2's ??

That's exactly what I was looking for. Thanks for the help!
