So i got a question for yall.I have a 07nnbs with a 4.8 and wasnt even think upgrade until i delivered biodiesel to this garage on my route.I seen a few projects this guy had goin and noticed a 6.0l block doing nothing,brand new.So i asked him what hes doin with that and he said nothing cant find a home for it,so i told him what i had and he said its yours cause your never late with my delivery,So my question is, would this be a good build with all forged internals,basically a 6l stroker?Prolly need some tranny upgrades as well.I am going back tuesday to get it if you guys can help me with input.Thanx

 

well sorry i cant help you with your questions but if your not interested with it i might be able to find a home for it...where upstate are you from?

 

sounds like a good idea to do so for your truck if hes giving the motor to you. Look on the parts classified to find some parts for the motor and do it.

 

[QUOTE][/...where upstate are you from? QUOTE]
From Troy which is across the river from Albany...

So after some consideration im gonna go get it and also found a local dyno shop that has hp tuners so it may work out....

 

oh nice, i go up that way all the time to SBChvy place in mechanicville area, very close to where u are, that where i do all my work on my truck...we are doin his cam in his truck in about 2 weeks...would be cool to see another fellow PT.net member

sweet man...next time i head up that way we should have a get together!...Ill PM u so that way we dont hijack this thread...

 

Hell ya man thats great!

Some suggestions ill make that could save you a chunk of change now that xmas is nearing... try to buy your parts in packages. Texas Speed alot of times does H/C packages that also include the push rods. Here is a link for it

Same thing with your rotating assembly, you will really have a hard time beating there prices.

Also, do the LS7 lifters.

By the sounds of things im sure you intend to have the motor looked at by a machine shop correct? Im sure you know this by now but things can add up really fast when building from the block up. Here is my block prep prices just to give you an idea.

Degrease Special $120
Bore Hone 8 Cyl $175
Check Block $45
Clean Mag Polish $55
Balance Assembly $200
Hone Rods $20
Tax $40

Trans mods are a must, that 6.0 will be so tempting not to get into every day your driving to work lol, and itll have alot more power than your 4.8.

Hope this helps a little

 

Beastmode,thank you for your help,i am def gonna have the block checked out before i do anything even though i think it is new but its not something im gonna chance,today i am clearing my inlaws garage to store it.
