6.0L BLOCK

How much do these usually run for brand new, bare block, and what c.i. are they?

Thanks,
Bos

Re: 6.0L BLOCK

So that makes it close to 360 c.i. correct, a little under?

Re: 6.0L BLOCK

Its about $600 without shipping. That with a stock stroke makes about a 366.

The price has gone up some though. I got my LS6 block for that much shipped.

Re: 6.0L BLOCK

All 6.0's are iron blocks.

My AIM is not working properly I can't figure out why Brian.

You could have some open up the heads for the 6.0 bore...

I think the weight gain from the block is noticeable...

Re: 6.0L BLOCK

Re: 6.0L BLOCK

Recently it was said that the iron block is 90+ pounds heavier by XtraCajunSS(sp?). I think it was him. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

I changed my mind for a few reasons. One I stated above, the aluminum block can do it if done right, two I found the block I have now for cheaper than the LQ4, and three it wouldn't be an LS1/6 anymore.

Re: 6.0L BLOCK

One of the guys on the board, RDF, is selling a brand new 6.0 block still in the crate at a very good price. He decided to stay stock cubed instead of building the stroker. Email him at dickfarrell@hotmail.com
