Default wanting to build a 370

can you guys give me some ideas/plans on what i need?

where can i get a cheap 6.0 block?

i have a crank and rods, but where to get pistons?

what else am i going to need? will the front and rear covers from my 4.8 work?

also, will 243s be good heads to run?

please give me any other ideas you think of

All covers from your 4.8 will work.

What rods do have?

Pistons will depend on what you want to do with the motor.

243's will work good, again depends on what you want the compression ratio to be.
