If you want to make real big power building a 408 is you best bet! A simple 408 build should make you 450-500 at the wheels. I am stroking my 6.0 this winter. Hoping to start in about a month! Stock the 6.0 will make you some good power but if you want to really build an engine then you need to stroke it!

Don't get screwed like I did and buy a 99-00 6.0 block with the longer crank flange! Then you will have to have Yank build you a $$$ converter and run a '00 2500 HD flex plate like I'm doing.

So I need a 01 up motor. And the 408 sounds good. Texas speed has a rotating assembly fairly cheap...that's probly my best option huh?
