Default 6.0 rebuild

Well I bought a TA as a roller a while back with plans to build a 408. I've got the 6.0 already, but don't have the cash to stroke it and everything I wanna do right now. So i've decide to throw a mild build together for now because i'm tired of looking at it sit in my driveway.

Let me know what yall think.

Stock rods/crank/pistons(lq4)
Stock 317's
New bearings/rings/gaskets
MS4/pushrods/prc dual spring .660 kit
About a 150~200 shot of juice.

Should be good for a 11 sec pass huh?

the lq9 piston would be beeter choice with milled 317, can get the scr to around 10.5 with milled heads, then the ms4 would work well, i would cut vr just to be safe

How far could you mill them down without getting into ptv issues?
I've been looking for a set of flat tops, can't find any...

with a stock stall you will need a tiny/stock cam.
