Startin with a Short Block, What Do I Need???
Alright, I wanna start with a 6.0 Short Block... I was wonderin what would be everything I need to build it up...
I would be buildin this for a S/C so I want low compression right... I also wanna put a LS6 Intake (Best flowing right??) Because I plan to do either the whipple or kenne bell and want to do an intercooler setup like Ryan23's...
Also if you guys could post up some average prices for all of these things that would be great... I wanna be able to figure out what kinda damage this thing's gonna cause me... Thanx.

You may get some responses here, but I would also suggest visiting the gentlemen in Engine Internals.

If it's a used 6.0 shortblock, get new seals/gaskets for sure. I'd forge the crap out of it as well (Pistons, rings, rods, rod bolts, etc.). 6.0 heads to keep the compression down some. Oh yeah, don't forget a custom blower cam! Do it right and you'll spend over $2000 easy.
-Blower Pistons/Rings = ~$650
-Rods = ~$400-500
-Heads = ~$1200 & up
-All the Gaskets/Seals = ~$200 & up
There is probably a bunch I'm leaving out, but I'm running off of 3 hours worth of sleep in the last 36+ hours!
