Well I think i have taken the 4.8 about as far as it will go and about as far as i want to take it... Saturday I will be taking it to the 1/4 track for the first time to see what it does, shooting for mid 13's, kinda pathetic all the mods and only mid 13's, well anyways on to the point of this thread...

I have been looking at 6Ls for a couple of weeks now, but it seems the prices vary a good deal depending on the mileage... ~65k is about $1200, ~100k is $850 (both local prices from car-part.com), so it is the 65k one worth the extra money? I am looking to buy one around christmas time cause I will have off like 2 weeks with nothing to do....

 

What all are you going to do to it? I'd get the cheaper one.

 

Stay NA....
Add a cam and all my boltons that i currently have... Probably start with my new cam 222/224 for awhile until i get bored with it then move up...

 

There u go, might as well upgrade. I say 6.0 with a big cam and verter....

 

Can a compression check be done on an engine stand?

 

id get the cheaper one and have it bored .030 with some flat top pistons and maybe some ls2 rods..370

 

roughly how much would something like that cost? Normal people's rates, not buddy or favors rates...

 

i know a place thats not on car-parts often. i got my complete engine with 70k miles for $750 then sold the intake and various parts and ended up like $500

 

that is what I am talking about!!! can you PM me their number and I will check to see what they got...

 

i got my 6.0 for 500 bucks sold the heads for 250. the machine work was 800 bucks no buddy favor stuff here.. the pistons and rods cost me 800 as well.. a good motor that could handle what i put to it
