1) - Depends exactly what you are looking for; stock cube or stroker. Start some research by calling the sponsors on the right. >>>>

2) - There's no replacement for displacement, except when you are on a budget! Strokers are expensive, especially when you take in consideration upgrading the fuel system, drivetrain and suspension and related parts.

3) - Having the increased bore/cubes of an aluminum 6.0L block compared to the 5.7 block.

Ultimately you need to decide what your goals and intentions are, then research what motor and setup suits your needs, then see if it fits in your budget. Because money is the deciding factor what you can or cannot build.
