I would agree if you were working on a RCSB 2x4 but your not.Did you search that link? a good 6.0 should be had for well under $1500.Did you ever say where you live?People here are willing to help you find the deals on labor.

the stroker kits Ive seen have all been around 3600 and up

I did a search on the site there are alot of 6.0 under 1k I stand corrected now if they will ship me one and I can find a place to keep it until its ready to go in. I dont think I can put it in my apartment man I wish I had a garage, maybe Ill rent a storage space and work on it in there

OK, but the manifolds will work right ??

Chances are that when you buy the used motor, the manifolds will already be on it.
