Scored a free 6.0, what to do This will be a Nickle and dime build so money isn't really a issue I'll buy parts as I can afford em and when I get a big enough pile I'll put it together.
I'm looking for around 550-600 Rwhp or more in a Street strip driven car. I was thinking do a 408 stroker matched cam and good heads with a shot of gas, or go turbo with it on stock crank and forged rods/pistons. Looking for the most bang for the buck type deal.

bang for buck- nitrous
mega power- turbo
in between- 400+ cubes, ported L92s (or bigg $$ head if you have the money), Mamo worked FAST, cam to match everything.
if you are looking for big power, match your cam to the heads, not the other way around (as so many people do). this way, youre cam wont be suffocated by not getting enough air in. also, i say build the valvetrain up, spin the bitch to 7500 or higher if its a real MAXXX power build

well first you need to set a budget or if there isnt one thats even easier, also decide if there are certain track times your expecting to hit or if there is a certain amount of power you want it to make, and also how streetable you want it

No real budget, 550-600 rwhp, just the cheaper it is the sooner I can swap em, if I go the fi route it will be a truck manifold style and so on. Driveabilty I'd say is daily but short daily with alot of weekend use

Keep the overbore as small as necessary for clean cylinder walls. No sense in going big... you're only talking a couple cubic inches difference, and it's that much less material on the cylinder walls for next time.
