I alldata'd the push rods for a 09 Yukon with a 5.3 (should be Alum 5.3) and the Part number is 10238852. They come up a 7.325" Length - http://www.gmperformancemotor.com/parts/10238852.html

Lol no theres an actual flat spot behind the head on the block above where the trans mounts i know in like a yukon to see the number i have to use a mirror so depending on how close the motor is to the firewall you might have to use a mirror to read the number

Hey Matt, what alternator bracket are you using on the Fairmont? Looks like a Corvette bracket. The corvette alternators are a bit pricey.

You get it on the dyno?

He has used a corvette alt bracket with a truck alternator before.

I was under the impression that the truck alternator had a different bolt spacing than the Corvette alternator.

That may be, but it's probably nothing a well placed drill bit couldn't cure.

PS It's not like he's just going w/ factory stuff across the board for that Ford.

i have truck bracket and truck alt on truck accessories

i threw the car on and it did 480 on 8psi and 570 on 18psi...
i came home and pulled the aluminum motor out again

took apart the 6.0 that had the questionable cylinder and there was a cracked ring, i have replacement rings from other motors, i threw one in there, going to put that one back in now, with different heads, swap the valvesprings over etc etc

joy!

Man that engine bay must feel like a $2 ***** right about now! I’ve got a set of gen4 6.0 rods/pistons I'd sell. PM me if you’re interested.

Good luck! .

Matt, Do you have a graph that might be able to help see if you have convertor slip????? 480 to the wheels at 8 psi doesn't seem extremely off and then 10 more psi only adds 90 hp is there a chance that the added 10 psi of boost is blowing through the convertor????

It does have a different bolt space, but Denmah made it work.

So boost holding now on dyno, good. Would be great to see any graphs you have to better understand what's going on. Thanks for sharing the learning journey!

i pulled the alum motor when i got home
took apart the 6.0 i have also, found a broken ring in the middle of cyl 8 on the 6.0

replaced it, ill be putting that in, with the 228 cam, swapping the valvesprings over to some stock 317 heads i have, and stock 6.0 head gaskets i have, and then throwing in some head studs i have laying around, just for fun,

so this way the block, heads, springs, gaskets, fastners will all be different

That's about how I see it. There's not a dirty spot he hasn't spotted multiple times by now!

I'm going to say compressor housing is cut wrong since that turbo has been down on power with what 3 motors and a half dozen cams now?
