What's next????? Tentatively, we are looking at a forged 6.0 with ported 317's, new springs, new cam, maybe underdrive pulley's, 62# injectors, new tune and still run 15# of boost.
We will rebuild the forged 346 (prob spun a bearing) and sell it for a reasonable price. It already had the diamond pistons and eagle I beams, stock heads with 918's with hardened push rods.

I need another engine stand so I can turn this heap over and survey the damage! I'll get it apart by tomorrow and drop some parts off at Shaw City for clean&mag, and machine work.
Cam specs for the 6.0 will be 244*/250*@.050" .595"/.595" 114*, we need to have the converter cut open. You may also want to change the gears back the other direction

It all depends on what I find inside, unless he decides to go ahead with a 6.0 option. It will be fairly quick if we get a shortblock, then I just need to port a set of heads for it and away we go.....
