Default New Budget Build.

Since I sold the old stuff prior to getting to have any real fun with it, and the truck been sitting for awhile; desided to build a little bit stronger engine. but keep it as a budget build.

Picked up a set of L92's, 6.0L, some new rods, Pistons. The bottom end is being build as strong as a stock iron block can handle. LSX just out of price range.

The Heads are getting a little port work to them not much just cleaning up the guide area and enlarging the exhaust ports some. Final compression will be below 9 to 1. NOt sure yet, final decking and head clean up cuts are not finalize yet. The truck should be a nice street truck once done. Gots lots to do still. Finish the intake, get the tranny, list is just really long right now. LOL

Hope to have something running in a few months.

Intake


pistons

I don't think that intake is gonna flow very well, you might want to get your Dremel out and open up those ports a little, LOL!

Might do twins, or a very large single. Keep changing my mind..
6.0L+ a little clean up bore.

Sounds like you are going to push it pretty hard Rick. I'm curious to see how those studs hold up. They are definitely big enough.
