6.0 Turbo questions I am considering doing a 6.0 turbo project. Due to the lack of 6.0's where I live, I may have to just buy a complete short block from tsp. I plan on building my own front mount kit, using truck manifolds and an on3 76mm turbo. And now for the questions.
1.What would be the best stroker kit?
2.What -cc dish pistons do I need?
3.Would a set of polished and ported 317's flow well enough for the build?
I have more, but Ill leave it with that for now.
Thanks in advance for any help I get!

it all depends on what power you want to make and the common (Sized) parts so you don't have to wait around for custom built parts.
a factory 6.0L honed out would be like a 4.005 bore, that with a factory stroke length and 64cc heads would be 9.8:1 compression with I think . Some cleaned up 317s would work nice, or some combination of newer heads if you can find some. I'll have to look at my files, but if you look around on the internet you can find excel files or calculators that give you your final compression (at least a good guess). 9.5:1 or even 10:1 compression on around 14~15psi would make some killer power and not be a boat on the low end.
1. You don't need a stroker
2. Shoot for 9.5:1-9.8:1 static compression and 7.8-8.0:1 dynamic compression
3. ported and polished 317's will work fine
added by me 4. get rid of that turbo for something bigger and of a reputable brand like a S475 with the 92mm T4 wheel 1.10 AR would be golden and can be had for around 1300 bucks.
