Building an Engine. Need Help.
I have a basic 6.0 block and I am wanting to do something with it. Is it worth building it into a 408 stroker or just building the 6.0. Right now my car has a ls1 in it and need help deciding what will be the best. Or should I just sell the block and just build the ls1. I am wanting around 550rwhp, and my car will be used for street/strip. It is an auto, but I am thinking about making it an m6. Any advice would be much appreciated.

On the flip side, you can build a 370 for considerably less by using the stock crank and rods. 550 whp through an auto with that small of an engine isn't impossible, but it takes a well thought out combo, a little more RPM, and may require some trial and error with different cams/manifolds/etc to get there.

Thanks for the advice guys, I am wanting 550 all motor and than maybe spray on top of that. My budget is around 9000, I am wanting to build this right so that's why its so high.
