L31MaxExpress
I'm Awesome
I have always found the exact same thing to be true. I removed a 6.0L to put a similarly built L31 350 back into its place. The 6.0L was a gutless wonder until it was reved over 4,000-4,500 rpm. Give me a 383 or a 400 even a tall deck 366 or 427 over the garbage being built now. I have driven fully loaded C60s with the 366 TBI and I prefer that engine backed to the 4spd AT545 over a 6.0L/4L80E any day of the week. Plant your foot through the firewall on those 366s and they rev out and keep pulling on hills.I know they’re different platforms but, when I drive my 12’ Tahoe (5.3 6l80e 4x4 on 33’s) I always find myself giving it more throttle input than my 97 c1500 (350 4l60e). I prefer the power band of the 350 over the 5.3. I also don’t see much difference if any as far as fuel consumption differences between the 2 trucks.
They are completely different engines and driving experiences.
