So what exactly is a 370 a 6 liter block bored out? If it is bored out how much is it bored, sorry if that is a stupid question but I am curious and have never seen anything about it.

Not a problem, a stock 6.0 has a 4.000" bore with a 3.622" stroke which is a 364. You bore the iron block .030" over, going to a 4.030" piston and you end up with a 370.

Cool so it is a .030 over 6 liter block. I guess the bottom end if built is plenty strong for what ever you can really throw at it.

Yes it is. That's pretty much the name of the game, built it and it will last.

As long as you keep detonation away. Detonation can kill even a built engine.

I used the same ones on my build. You're going to have to hogg out the windage tray bolt holes a little. If I remember, the directions had the right sized bit to use.

What o-ring did you get for the pick up tube? I used the fat red one.

What pistons are those? . . . . Are you putting in new cam bearings?
