Op if you are still looking for any parts, complete gasket kit, pistons, etc we have the best price on all of it, better than summit and not cheap chinese stuff either.
We have had quite a few 6.0 builds we helped with this year alone. Good strong blocks lots of potential. We have stock parts and all the aftermarket you can imagine, plus a guy at the shop has 2 6.0 trucks he always toys with, so he has the hands on exp to get you what you need.
The P series were made to work with stock crank and rods. The rod bolts you have are ok also. If you do the arp youll also need to have the big end bores honed to true them up.
Good budget build. Look forward to see the rest.

OP, what trans are you using? I am doing a LQ4 myself ( 370 cu in) but mine was the early long flange crank and was told I had to use a 4L60E back half with a 4L80E front half custom( ie $$) converter .

What happened to this engine to require a rebuild? LS engines commonly see the far side of 300k miles.

Thanks a lot for the reply! I’ll try to give them a call tomorrow! Well my whole plan with this motor is it’s going into my R32 Skyline shell, tubed front end, all aftermarket suspension, gutted, and caged. Cars going to be used as a drift car and be taken out to events, depending on how things go turbo is a very high possibility in the future. Motor wasn’t really beat on but it’s been sitting for a while and well, it’s going to be abused so I’d rather be safe than sorry.

You might just pull the heads first and check things out. If there is no ridge in the cylinders (that IS possible!) check the heads out, then throw it back together and SEND IT!
As I said, these engines hold up VERY well. Don't fix what ain't broke.

Did you email us? Because i got 3 emails for 6.0 builds recently lol.
Let me know though. Email is the easiest way to get in touch with me also. Im super sick with cold/sinus stuff also so my voice comes and goes for phone conversations.
Thanks
