Default 6.0 conversion

Guys, Its time i build a real motor for the pimp ride. I was going to sell it and get a vette, but it's time for me to buy a house. I have concluded that i need a bigger motor for the truck. I wanted to go with the vette motor, but my blower doesnt fit. i want to continue using my Magnacharger. can i use my block, and change the crank and heads , Whant kind of power can i pull out of a 6.0. what sould i use to program the PCM. Anyone here done a ***** out 6.0?

What do you mean your blower won't work? I am planning to build a LS1 for my pick'em up and I want to have a supercharger on it. I will be done in about 8 months. Should I think of something else?

I'd think you could probably get around 500 flywheel horsepower outta a badass hydraulic 6.0L fairly easy. Slap a solid roller setup on top of there and watch out. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Sell the Magnacharger and throw a stroker rotating assembly in there. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

The 6.0L blocks have bigger cylinder liners than the 5.3/4.8 so you may just want to find a nice 6.0L long block to start with.

PS - Why won't your blower work with the vette motor?
