Well ima bench flow my heads first today, and see what results I get, but also found out my crank is fucked on my 6.0💔 never noticed until 2 days ago that whoever had it before broke there crank bolt deep inside the crank. I guess over tighten and then trying to loosen it it snapped so had to get a new one and that’s going in today. Good thing is I got the drain bung welded on the oil pan!

Well another step back on the motor, went to take the crank out and one rod bearing came out trashed, getting the motor honed and cleaned with new rod bearings tomorrow hopefully, glad I went into the motor and found that problem!

Finally an update, I got the motor put back together, all brand new bearing on rod and main caps, all pistons where cleaned and everything is put back together and torqued! I’ll finally be able to put the motor together today!

4" from tb to intercooler. 3.5" from turbo to intercooler.... The piping was laying around. There are a few pics of my cold side on the link.

From my experience- assuming you plan on doing a lot of street driving- 3.73 or even 3.50s is a good thing.
I have found when you are pushing 800+ft-lbs, turbos appear to love lower gears. In my current build- I have a 6 speed automatic. Too many gears, too much shifting.

Well got the motor in the truck, trans and converter bolted up, looking good, water pump bolted and torqued, just waiting on the power steering and alternator bracket bolts since I seem to misplace em lmao, then start wiring everything and Holley goes on after
