Default 402 build up?

This is my plan so far. 6.0 block, stock crank, stock rods, good low comp pistons,rings,and bearings all cryo treated. (my setup is going to be for a turbo so Im planing 8.5-9.1 comp). Iv read about the stock bottom ends of the all mighty ls1 but how does the 6.0 bottom end compare? Also any sugestions on the machine work on the block ect? Will my stock oil pump work? I also plan to use the 72cc lQ9 heads form patriot performance and Im not sure about the intake. Will the ls6 intake work? I need something thats going to hold up under boost( 20-25ps1 depends on turbo)?

Thanks

I'd skip the turbo and just go NA personally. Get a 402 with some ET heads, FAST intake, a decent cam, and you will be pushing close to 500 rwhp anyways. If you still want to throw boost on it, I would get aftermarket rods at the minimum. You can get a forged rotating assembly for about $2000. 20 psi? I would think that at 8 psi or so you would be making close to 800 horsepower.

Yes, 800rwhp would be about right at low boost. Ok i know Im going to need pistons changeing comp ratios and you say rods are a must so that means you think the crank is doable?
