I'm trying to figure out the specific differences in the 6.0 engine option. Specifically for around the 2007-2013 model year. I know I can use the 6.0 from an Express van as a swap for my 5.3 however I'm not sure what the specific differences are between the 6.0 from a Silverado and the Express.
The Express is rated at 340ish hp and the Silverado is rated at 360. Is that due to a cam difference or tuning?
Also are the crank/cam trigger specs the same for a 5.3 and a 6.0? I already have HPTuners so adjusting things aren't the issue. I've already disabled DoD etc.
My main issue comes down to cost. I can get a brand new long block for 4500 shipped if it's from an Express or 5700 if it's from a Silverado.
Is GM just taxing the engine cause it's out of a truck instead of a van? Or is there some differences that legitimately account for the price difference.
I'm not opposed to buying a used engine and rebuilding it. But would like to narrow down which specific engine to aquire.
