Default few pix of the short block

this engine is a 6.0 bored and stroked to a 408. Diamond boost pistons, howards steel connecting rods, callies crankshaft.









The engine will have a T101 or 106 hanging off the front. should make for a nasty setup. stay tuned

cant wait to build mine. You had to bore the lq9 to make it a 408? i thought all you needed was the 4.00 crank.. Also what did all the machine work cost? New block?

4.00 x 4.00 = 402
4.00 x 4.03 = 408
