what pistons? planning on building a turboed 408, with trick flow 225cc heads what pistons should be used? also what kind of head gaskets should I get? thanks.
I would recommend looking into either Diamond or Wiseco forged pistons. They both have a very tough forging that can handle a lot of power. Set up with a steel top ring set and you can't go wrong.

If he does have one of these 9.230" deck blocks, he can always shave .005" off of the piston, or use a 6.098" rod. You can get a zero deck.

Contrary to what Wiseco has on their catalog, I personally have not run into a 6.0L block with a 9.230" deck height. I'm pretty confident I've set up several blocks to 9.23x" decks in some cases for a 0 deck.

all of the truck blocks (6.0 5.3/4.8) that i have run into have all had 9.23 deck heights. this was measured on a CNC machine here at school. i machined 1 6.0 block and 2 5.3 blocks as well as 1 LS1 block and the only one that had a 9.24 deck height was the LS1 block....i have also heard that a lot of the truck blocks have the 9.24 height as well. i guess the only way is to measure.
