Call up Terry at Racetech -----sponsor-------> he built my forged 6.0L shortblock with 8.8:1 compression (turbo engine) for cheaper than I found anywhere. First time I fired it up oil pressure jumped up to 60psi at idle and stayed there. Couldn't be happier with it. He's also building a forged 346 (ls1) for one of my friends/customers for a lot less than anyone else

Just remember the turnaround time on a shortblock can be 4-6 weeks typically so plan for that.
