Picked up a 6.0 last night, complete for 300 bux only downfall, it dropped a valve and put a small hole in the piston, fine with me, because i was wanting a builder anyways....and the price was good too. Should i just stock rebuild with a cam or go stroker? money is not really an issue because im doing this over the long haul till my truck is paid off in a few years, so submit your build suggestions, thanks guys

 

what year is it?is it a LQ9 LQ4? if it were me bore it 30 over throw a set of forged pistons in it and maybe even a set of rods call it aday

 

im trying to find out more info about it, the guy said it came out of an 06, ran the numbers and it says its a lq4, it has the aluminum 317 heads

 

sounds like you got a good deal if its an 06 sounds like it came outta a HD easiest way to tell since you have to pull the heads anyways is to look at the pistons if there dish its a lq4 if there flat tops its a lq9 and if it is a 06 its got the full float wrist pins

 

You could get some current ETs. Swap over parts from current & compare ETs to see your gains after 6.0L swap. See what ya really gained from extra cubes, sorta thing. Or if that doesn't interest you, go stroker. Call it a day.

 

yeah i have already torn it down, it has dishtops, one of the cylinder wall is scarred but it should bore easily, how do find out what year it is exactly?

 

look at the wrist pins since the motor is allready apart if they float in side of the piston were the conecting rod meets its a 05 up if they dont its a 04 down thats the only way i can think of doing it

 

cool to know, thanks!

 

no problem oh and i finally reached 1,000 posts haha

 

got to do something to get in the 13's, lol
