I finally got around to installing the new carrier and 800lb springs. We'll see how long this one holds...

In the next week or so I'll be pulling a running 6 liter I got for $150. Who knows how far I'll go but I'm thinking just freshen it up with some good pistons and rods.

Pulled the motor today, sold whatever I didn't need off it for $100. So far the motor only cost me $50.

That's the plan. I'll either re use the cam I have in the 5.3 or buy another one, also want to go with an 8 rib setup. I want to see 16-18 psi

Is it a Gen IV or are you going to have to switch cranks for the 58x reluctor?

Gen lll. I can either use my 5.3 crank or have a 58x installed on the 6.0 crank.
