Welcome aboard. I would say buy you a good iron block 6.0 as a base line then build the heck out of it.

I agree get a lq4 6.0 iron block bore it .030" over put a 4 inch stroker crank in and u get a 408 ci motor. A LQ4 is almost a direct replacement. The only thing that i had to do to drop it in was drill and tap another hole for my alternator bracket but some say thats optinioal.
