I have a 85 k10 4x4 that I'm wanting to swap a 6.0 or 5.3 vortec. Can't decide which one I'm wanting to go with. I'm wanting to go with the 6.0 with 4l80e for power and torque but I'm considering the 5.3 because I have a 4l60e out of a 98 chevrolet Z71. Would the 98 4l60e work with a 5.3? The truck would be a weekend driver, towing every now and then. Any input would be great. Thanks.
