The 6.0 is an updated 350 in a sense. They share many bottem end designs, but they use the cylinder head design that GM came up with for NASCAR and drag racing back in the mid 90's. They use the splayed valve styling with the equally spaced runners. It helped to even out the cylinder balance. GM is known for getting a design and just updating it, not wiping the slate clean and starting over.

So, in your opinion, would you say that the 6.0 is as good as the 5.7 or maybe even better. I realize the there may be other issues here, such as EPA, etc..
BTW, I have a 1978 Vette with a 350/190hp that only get 12mpg and a 1997 Silverado that gets 18/21mpg. All this new stuff that I can't work is more efficient.
