I'm building my engine at school in one of my classes (Tech School) so I've been looking at parts to make sure I buy the right stuff. I want to start with a 6.0 block, and obviously get it punched out. What's the bore used for the 408 and 414? I found the eagle kit for $2400 +/-, I already have ARP rod bolts, I'll do ARP head studs also. As for the heads I'm liking the patriot cnc'd LS6 heads with the 59cc chambers. The cam I'm still unsure of but thinking in the area of 230/234 .605/.615 112. I want to build a high compression N/A (pump gas though) street/strip setup. I'll probably do the TBSS manifold and the nick williams 92mm T-body. As far as injectors go I'm going to try some 42's, but possibly might go with 60's if you guys think I'll need them. Any advice I can get will be awesome, I've been reading a lot on here but it seems like a lot are built for boost, so I still have some unanswered questions! I have $2500 to spend on parts now, and I'll take out a student loan to finish it up. I'd like to keep the total around $4000 for parts because I'll be doing all the machine work and assembly. Thanks!

(either the 12917 or 12926 kit)

 

4 inch bore. 4.125 stroke gives 414ci

 

Don't do this.

 

Never mod with money you don't have yet. Almost never turns out well.

 

Yep

 

Why not just make a 370"

 

Fixed it for ya...first hand experience

 

Haha that loan deal was my bad, I was tired when I typed it up. I meant to say there are a ton of grants and scholarships floating around school so I'm going to try and pick a few up and use the money for parts...my schooling is all paid for already thanks to my grandparents! I want the torque of the 408 over the 370, but I like the rpm you can get out of a 370...so it's a toss up really. Whats all needed for the 370 besides a .030 over bore?

 

Do you know the names of some of those grants and scholarships for students to apply to?

 

try PM ,this is old
