OK guys, serious tech question
Ok boys here she goes, most of you know i have been runnin a pretty stout 6.0 with a carb for a few months, well i got ahold to some bad race fuel this weekend and spit a piston out and it fubared my block in the cylinder, which was good ole #8. My options are now, put my stock 5.3 back together with 4.8 flat tops and my 243's and cam and run it like hell but i wanted to know about the 6.0 crank and 4.8 pistons and rods? I know there is a way to utilize the combo to make a stroker but i cant remember the combo, is it a 6.0 block with different rods and the 6.0 crank? or is it the 4.8 crank with 6.0 rods and pistons? If anyone has some enlightenment here please share, i know some will say its a failure but i also know that some of you hardcore guys know what i'm getting at. just would like to try something a little off the wall since i have a stockpile of parts laying around to tinker with, and now a really pretty 6.0 coffee table lol!

I think what You're thinking is 6.0l block and pistons with 4.8l rods and crank , it is a great idea would be more powerful because of a larger rod ratio allowing more timing advance without pre-ignition but there's a problem , the piston would not reach the top of the cylinder or it would come out the hole too much , can't remember which . Only way to make it work would be to get some pistons custom made at JE or somewhere .
