Don't quote me on this, but I think that the flex injectors from the 5.3 are longer therefore wouldn't fit in the 6.0 fuel rail. Different connectors also maybe? But if they fit, then that would be fantastic.

What throttle body are you needing? I have some old 3 bolt truck ones. I have plenty of valve covers as well as the main and rod bearings.

Darth_V8r has also paid for chromoly pushrods and ARP head bolts that will be with everything. All we need are the springs that Cam Motion is donating and we will get the package headed that way.

Did you guys settle on a cam yet? Probably end up with .660 duals or similar but it occurs to me that cam will at least somewhat dictate the springs.

It would be good to know more about the build first, but as Mercier said, our standard dual springs would likely suit most street builds perfectly. Just let us know.

Hey all,

I haven't done an update in a while but when I get home tonight I'll post some pictures of all the engine components that we have. A_A_Ron will be getting the engine from the machine shop in the next couple of days(finally) and assembly will commence! The original plan was a 4 inch stroke with a .030 bore, but Kyle from TMS and A_A_Ron decided that a .070 bore sounded more awesome and I agree.

Also a big thanks to Cammotion for all of the help and insight that they have thrown in. I'll list all members that have helped out tonight when I put the photos up. Thanks again to everyone.

I cannot wait to see what this looks like completed and what it runs when we slap it on the Dyno.

Ok here is the update on parts that I promised. Things have been so hectic with work that I hardly have a moment to breathe sometimes.

I want to thank you guys for helping! Especially Thompson Motorsports and Cam Motion for stepping up like they did. You guys are top notch. There are a few members that have also helped out with an oil pump, pushrods, arp bolts and rockers. Excuse me for not remembering all of the names but you know who you are and you are the ****.

I also really need to go out of my way to thank A_A_Ron. I found out from his wife that he has been putting off back surgery to help me finish this thing. Ridiculous. If there is anything I gained from this it is you as a buddy. The few times weve hooked up for beers has been great and I couldn't have got this far so smoothly without your help. Also, thanks for the engine block. You're more than welcome to my cracked one haha.

Hey what are you doing talking to my wife?! Lol. It's not a major surgery. I don't want to do it anyways. I've got some 42# injectors for you.

Real close. Lifters I think is all. Hopefully it'll be mostly assembled by the end of the weekend.

And injectors. The ones I bought off of eBay were **** so I returned them. Looking for another set though. Not sure if I'll have the beast put together this weekend. A few hiccups and football is Sunday. But she's painted now.

I have spare 32s but I dont think that's going to feed that beast. I think I got my 60 SDs for under $400 on eBay myself.

What lifters are you looking to run? Drop ins?

It's a darker blue than the picture is showing. I can assure you that it's not Ford Blue. Haha. He didn't say he wanted it painted but I know the car is going to be a similar color. Didn't want to go with the typical red/orange.
