Default 6.0L ran out of oil

Out deer hunting and put a pin hole in the oil pan and ran out of oil un aware of all this it made a loud screech then locked up . Im going to bore and stroke it to a 408 its going to be cheaper then buying a new engine. Looking for a callies crank and forged rods and pistons,can anybody put on to a site where i can find some good prices on these parts,not sure whats cheaper eithier buy everything seprate or is there a kit that has all of the internals,any help would be great.???? Thanks Gents.

Since when was making a 408 cheaper than buying another motor lol.

And you do realize you have an oil pressure gauge right?

Yea ive drove a few vehicles with that gauge i think........ Anybody have any relavent info on 408 internals kits?In the long run it will be cheaper considering i have some juice and wanna go boosted rather then putting a stock motor back in it.

If you wanna go with boost, build a 370. It's been proven to produce the same results with far better reliability.
