6.0 build soon to start...
Picked up a 6.0L short block from another board member last night.
Going to get it on a stand tomorrow and tear it down and clean some things up. I am going to have some new rings and bearings put in just for peace of mind and start piecing together a top end for it.
I have seen several guys running TBSS intakes etc. Those will work with 243 heads correct? Not sure on the cam choice either. I had a g5x2 in my WS6, loved it but I think the cam choice for a truck is going to be a tad different haha. Although I have seen some guys running big big cams in 6.0s as well. The truck is currently a 4.8/5spd. Would like for it to be a 6.0/6spd t56 setup soon however.
This engine is from an 04+ truck so it has the better floating wristpins etc. Anyways just wanted to start a thread and I'll be updating periodically on my progress.
