6.0 Rebuild

Its my opinion that a lot of mistakes that are made with changing oil pumps and timing chains are made because it is rather uncomfortable and akward to do that on an engine thats already installed. If its done before its installed I feel much better about it since it is much easier to work on.
BTW, I'd be a little scared to run 11:1 static compression in a boosted application, 10.5:1 is as high as I would go, and that's with a rich, conservative tune

Yea im thinking 10.5 is more reasonable. Definitely a boost over the 9.5 of the LM7.
An LQ4 with flat top pistons and 317s would be around a 10:1 if im not mistaken, how much should be milled to bring that to 10.5:1? Im thinking a 4.03" bore is pretty sexy as well and gives me the option of bigger valves.
now a 408 stroker is looking appealing. I need to stop before this gets too expensive

I would keep the dished pistons. Re-ring, new main/rod, bearings, oil pump, timing chain and arp rod bolts. Add boost and enjoy!
