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

 

OOOOOOO AAAAWWWWW
Looks like a good plan.
What turbo?
Engine size still 6.0?
What truck?

 

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.



Thats new ultra hi flow material. just need to get the bolt pattern right and we're done. LOL

 

Looking good Rick...cant wait to see it when its done.

 

 

Thanks Brad, got the tank welded out need to check fit this week..

 

at the intake!!

Can't wait to see what comes of this!! Best of luck!!

 

Head studs came in. Going a little larger then the norm. Trying to keep the head down and sealed, hope these work. stock replacment stud is on the right.

 

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.
