6.0???? Ok I found a 6.0 locally for $550 complete out of an 03 truck that has about 90k miles. The guy wants $550 if I pull it and I get the wiring harness and the computer as well as acesseries. I'm having a hard time deciding if I should get it and just store it until I'm ready for it, or buy some other parts with the money I'd spend on the motor.
Basically is the deal on the motor too good to pass up on? Or could I wait and find the same deal?

Thats what I thought. I browsed around on the net and most of everything was $1200+
It will be a year or 2 before I would put it to use is the only thing, but for the price I'm having a hard time passing it up and I figured I could pull off the heads and intake and sell them for what I would have in the motor making it basically free.
Oh the mind is wondering haha, thanks guys

Wow really? When I was thinking about building a 6.0 iron block I bought the short block from a local junk yard for $300.00. I gave the block to a buddy of mine and I still have the crank.

It is just a bad time for me as far as cash goes. I put my shotgun on a local message board and if it sells I'm picking up the motor.
Whats the compression ratio on a stock 6.0? And what are you guys putting down rear wheel power wise on the stock short block? I plan on keeping the bottom end stock and just doing heads, cam, and intake and supporting mods, if I end up with it

and the intake, the pcm, the maf, and the wiring harness.

get it and sell the stuff off of it that you KNOW you won't need, and at worst you have $100-200 in it after you've sold the stuff. thats still great!
thats what i did with my 6.0 and it worked out great for me.

BUY IT!!!!! I paid $1500 for my long block with 30K on it. You can pick up some LS2 pistons pretty cheap, you want those because they are the flat tops and will bump the compression up. Keep the 317 heads and mill them and that will bring the compression up even more, or sell them for some LS6 heads.
