Whats the intended purpose of the vehicle ? Build a 6.0 on a budget and go fast !!! ls1tech, scrapyard, craigslist, or ebay low mileage 6.0 with arp rod bolts, L92's, good cam, ported intake, ported throttle body. Great trans & converter, Great rear end, great suspension and brakes. SPRAY !!!! & Let the good times roll.
