To stroke a 6.0 to a 408, your need 4.030 pistions (and .030 over bored block), a 4 inch crank, and 6.125" rods.

Before you go much further, you should spend sometime thinking about your long term goals -- e.g. if you're adding boost down the road, plan on n2o, just want NA BB power, etc. Those decisions dictate components, CR, etc.

SPL also has some decent quality affordable options. But there are full rotating assemblies for sale from some of the sponsors here.
