You remind of the kid who has a girl friend in another state. We hear all about her, but know one has ever seen her. They never will because she only exsist in your mind. You should be a salesman cause u sure talk a good line of ****.

Wonder if this has anything to do with what Oxidizr mentioned about the 6.0 in the other post...... Man, that was what, a little over 30 somethin hours ago??

"-If you have reasearched this at all you would see the 5.3 block is not the best base for a stroker when you can pickup 6.0L blocks for under $500 and have twice the capacity...WTF would you SLEEVE a 5.3L for?"

We don't want you w/o ride.

When did the 6.0's go aluminum?
