Yeah Josh, I have SEEN pictures of your garage... Come on, I know you can afford a dyno pull... Just kiddin man, any updates?

 

No offence intended, but I think it's called a Pintle Hook. Anyway, back on to topic for updates.

 

I have it running alot better, but I still have to dial in the A/F. The weather hasn't been to great to drive it. Trust me as soon as I can get to the dyno I will.

I do tow with the truck alot probably once a week, the most weight wise I have towed with it is 9K lbs. Gotta love the tt3000 and 4.56 gears. I have been rearended in the truck twice since I bought it and the pintle hook saved me from any damage both times. Once was a brand new ram I fucked his front bumper up!!

 

None taken, I knew I was wrong in the first place. That's why I put the "sp?" after it, I didn't know how it was spelled. Thank you for the correction, now I don't have to call it a doughnut hook anymore!

 

Thanks for the info. Good luck getting it finished!

 

Any more updates?

 

i'm sure josh will chime in, but rumor has it that he blew the engine up. well, one of the pistons or something.

 

Yep! I broke it. One of the pistons or the rods let go. I don't know what broke first. I bought the pistons and rods from a member of another forum and I didn't really like the way they looked but I went against my better judgement and installed them.

So I bought a Lunati stroker kit, I have all the new parts here and I should have the block back this weekend.

So now it's a 408 with 11.6:1 compression and everything else is the same. Oh and now I'm not afraid of blowing it up with the juice.

 

Did you ever get a chance to find out how "strong" the 6.0 ran? I want to do the same conversion as you and was waiting for some results. Did you ever get a chance to get some information. Any thing would help, thank!

I never got any numbers with the 6.0 but it ran strong. I was really hapy with it. If I didn't get such a good deal on the stoker kit it would still be a 6.0

The 408 runs so strong my tranny only lasted 500 miles.
