quick question, a little off topic. If i wanted a 6.0, all i need is the block right? about how much do they go for? and about how much for install?

get a long block with heads. theres an lq4 low compression and a lq9 high compression 6.0. i could not find a lq9 so i went with a lq4. decent(40,000 mile)lq4 can run from 800 to 1200bux. lq9 goes for about 1300 to 2000bux. install i'd say bout 500-700bux

low is good if i want to go F/I one day. does the low compression give enough power out of the 6.0. I would like to find the high compression and go all motor tho. Or maybe i can stroke this engine out and put high compression pistons in it?

Do u kno a place where i can look at internals?

lq4 have plenty of power. if you can find a lq9 at a good price then go that route. any of the sponsers on the right hand side of the page has them>>>>>>>>
try SDPC, TBYRNE etc..
