I Just have a few questions, Since i'm kind of a noob to this..

I'm planning on buying a 6.0 lq4 iron block
I want to do a 415ci out of it..
Question are:
Is the 415ci worth it while running NA/N20? Or should I Stick to the 408ci? Is there difference??
How much $$ Will I Spend (Estimate) on the conversion? When its all done?

6.0 itself will be $1000-$1500
Just wondering on kit price? and do I need heads? new intake manifold?
Upgraded tranny,Suspension & fuel assembly? etc etc &
how much $$ will i be looking in each part??
I Know some stuff about but there's more that i don't

thanks in advance!

408ci=4.030" bore and 4" stroke, 415ci=4.065 bore 4" stroke. Can't really have a budget when your doing something like this imo. Don't want to half *** stuff so your gonna spend money.

Are u going with boost in the future? or staying N/A? cause i have different answers for both

S1LV3RAD0

Well i'm planning on staying N/A and maybe N20
But give me both answers, Its good to learn more

It is a budget build, But I just want an estimate so I could know how much long It could take to build it.

All the little things add up quick bearings, gaskets, hardware etc. On texas speed you can buy forged kits between $1500-$2000 roughly. If u you are going to do all that u might as well go boosted nitrous is good and all but you can only do so much. I would do heads and intake as well no sense on having all them cubes and not being able to get air in the cylinders. You could easily have $2000 or more in the heads imo. An engine is a big air pump hot to get air in and air out. How many horse do you want to make?

What is the normal hp on a 408 and/or 415? I've been searching but I can't seem to get an accurate answer.. I was talking to a cousin & he said instead of spending the $$ on boring & stroking i should just boost my 5.3.. Which has now put me on doubt..

haha idk man. I have a cammed, heads, etc. 4.8 with 165,000 on it. I have a lq4 on a stand at home im building for boost i am not in a real big hurry and don't have a budget cause i want to do it right i am hoping for close to 1000hp. IMO i would be wasting time and money for a 5.3 or stock 6.0 swap so i am just going straight into the big build. It's all personal preference, your goal of what you want for your truck, your time limit, and how much money you have to spend.

S1LV3RAD0

Yeah well i'm in no hurry neither, No need to rush! and well $$ its my hobby and its the only thing i'll spend $$ on since i don't have a family or lots of bills yet
And I want a 10.5 or lower pass on a 100-200shot or maybe turbo, but for turbo i've heard 402ci & up is not a very good idea..
even if i take 1-2 years building it I don't mind.. but since i'm new to this i'm still doing research.

Yeah the search button is the best tool. You could always run a 370ci that another option also.
