LBZ compressor into ford 6.0 turbo?

[mike diesel]

A buddy just picked up a 6.0 and got a few extra bucks from the bank to do some preventative maintenance. He is also interested in a billet wheel. I have a billet wheel here for an lbz charger that I'd give him for next to nothing if it will work.

Does anyone know how much different the compressor side is on the 6.0 garretts compared to the lbz garretts? Other than machining the compressor housing for the larger inducer, will this work?

Yes it can work, but whether it will be worthwhile will depend.

It's a wicked wheel 2 if that makes any difference. I figured with machine work and balancing, he could be into this swap for about $300.
