Default Decided against a r6 went with the motor

I was offered a sweet deal on a , bigger than Greg's future motor , short block. It is a full lunati rotating assembly in a 6.0 block. It does burn the oil a bit like a typical big cube motor. The stage 3 heads should go nice on top on this. Now i need to find a deal on a set of 42lb injectors. Thankyou Silent1.

so where did you pick this up, I've been looking at the 408 but their telling me a long block will be around 8k but the shortblock 3500 with the eagle forged assembly. Give some more details. Is anyone here running the 408 in their truck?

Nice steal. I didnt think you could go wrong either way being there were definatly pro's and cons to each. Glad you got what you wanted tho. Maybe once the trucks built, you can get a bike

Thats awesome!! That is definately the route I would go. That thing is going to be a beast!! I got my 43lber's from ASM. They were by far the most reasonable. Cant wait to hear how it goes. 5K later and my truck is barely running. In fast it isnt drivable now . If you want something done right, do it yourself.
