The most popular mod for the 6.0 is turning it into a stroker, either a 402, 408, or 416 with a set of L92 or LS3 heads. But like ZRacer asked, what's your budget, goals, etc.

im not really worried about the cost i just wanna make sure i do it right. i have the block and i just sent it to the machine shop to get "qualified" alot of people have told me to go stroker 408 with it and i got a brand new set of l92 heads with the block when i bought it. basically what i want to do is have a really fst car that i can still cruise with but when i need to hand someone there *** i dont have to worry lol alot of people have built ricers that could womp on me so thats the inspiration of this project.

Well there you go!

Send the heads to Rich @ WCCH and have him do a Stg3 on them, and send the block to Erik @ HKE and tell him you want a bad *** 408. END/
