anyone???????

 

I would probably just get a used 6.0 block. Get a stroker crank, forged rods, and pistons. You can mill the 317 from the 6.0 heads to raise the compression and keep your cam. I think that set up would be good for 425-450rwhp. The ls6 manifold will require you to run car accessories and minor modifications to the brackets I think.

 

new block is pretty darn cheap i found one .. and pistons and rods i plan on getting from tsp and i got 241 heads from johnny that he is holdin for me and ls6 manifold would require car style injectors and fuel rails... and relocation bracket

 

And an L92 water pump...

Sounds like a fun build.. Who is doing it?

 

dont kno yet imma go ask like newtech or synergy today...i can use a ls1 water pump with my truckpulley pressed on from what i heard from some guyz on here for the ls6 manifold clearence....

 

I didnt know you could do that with an ls1 waterpump.. The vettes did have bolt on pulleys though.

Nick did my tuning and alky kit.. But I dont think he likes to do engine assembly. He usually buys assembled short blocks and puts them together from the heads up.

Did johny get his car back yet?

 

naw not yet .hes still waiting for his heads ..i think... hmmm so is nick good at his tunning?imma go ask tho at newtech if not i think synergy ...for the engine build

 

Rick is good too! He does some really involved builds and builds engine from scratch. Keep us updated!

 

Having just done too much homework on pistons than I wanted to u might wanna go with something other than the diamonds depending on what size motor u build. They tend to have a little shorter skirt than I like, and they also have a little less clearance tolerance. I think it has to do with their internal construction and bracing that permits more expansion thru the stroke and heat cycle I'm no expert, and many have had success with them, but its more a function on longevity. After much research Probe/JE wud be my first choice. Eagle has a decent stroker kit with JE pistons for $2625.
