man nice project you got going. I had a 6.0 with prc 5.3 heads and it put down 400/400, but I bet you'll put down more with the standard trans. Only thing I wouldn't do is take out the overload spring unless you have caltracs, it will ride bad and cause hop and axle wrap.

Thanks Kyle... can't wait til you start your build. lol
Thank you!
Appreciate the info.. I was just trying to keep with the small attachment picture style so it was a little easier to view, but if I can't make it work I will do the photobucket thing.
Thanks bro... I will be happy to break the 400 rwhp mark, but any extra is definately a bonus. I do have a "home made" version of Caltracs in the works right now. Gonna finish them up as soon as I get the engine built. I hate to stop working on the suspension, but I always like to get an engine assembled asap just for the sake of getting it sealed up and getting all the parts out of the way.
Thank you!

Na... I wish, then I could stay home and work on it! Actually had a problem with the rings. One of them was the wrong size brand new in the box!!! Picked up the replacement set yesterday. Gonna slap the heads on tonight. Here is how she looks now.

Having to work today, so not gonna get too much farther this weekend. Waiting on the Comp rocker kit and the Arp oil pan bolts to come in. Still need to clean the oil pan and maybe paint it, but here is how it sits right now.
