3000TT Stall, AFR Heads (if they turn out like they are supposed to) 224/224 .550 cam, ASM headers, pulleys, servo's, air intake, cutouts, Tuning, 100 shot NOS. that should put you around 6k, if you install it all yourself.

I'm assuming you have a 6.0L already.

Complete engine ... 700
Eagle 408 R/A ....... 1500
Machine work ........ 500
Valvetrain ............ 1000
Nice heads ........... 2000

Grand Total .......... 5700

In my case ... I would make that a low compression engine, lets say 8.7-9.0:1 with a nice blower cam including new springs and rockers. I think that should be good for 11's.

I'd like a 6.0 long block w/o the rotating assembly. Just fill the lower end w/ cash. I'll end it up w/ more juice than Blacksheep's got.
