6.0 L 408 Stroker Question With the thread title in mind, quick questions.
With this setup, do I need to change fuel rails and injectors for increased fuel ?
Do I need to change throttle body ?
Do I need to change oil pan to a +2 quart pan and hi flow oil pump ?

Neither a larger throttle body or a larger pan is required, but depending on your clearances, a higher volume/pressure oil pump would be a good idea.

Reply Is it possible to put too large of an injector on ?
What would you recommend on the 408 stroker setup for injectors?
As far as a higher volume oil pump, any suggestions or recommendations based off experience?

I like Melling pumps. The 10295 is basically a stock volume pump, but a different bypass spring will increase the pressure at higher RPM. The 10296 is larger and flows more volume and has the higher pressure spring, so you get more oil pressure across the board. The 10355 is a replacement AFM/DOD pump and is even larger and flows more than the 10296.
So if your 408 is built with tight clearances, the 10295 will be fine. The 10296 would keep oil pressure up with loose clearances, and the 10355 for really loose clearances.

Reply Haven't gotten the truck yet. Looking at Silverado with 6.0 lq4 and then bore it out 30 over. 408 stroker.
Thinking about using all LS6 internals. Cam, lifters, rods,rockers,valve springs, heads and intake. Any thoughts on this ? Good or bad.
I'm a first time builder, so I plan on taking as much time as I need.

You can use just about any head on a 408 cathedral or rectangular port ls3 style.
Ls3 heads flow better than his 243 heads. But your right,ima use my ported 241s until I can get the money for a ls3 top end kit

Yes I know this. Thanks anyway. Have to buy a little bit at a time. Like I said, willing to take my time. Be it 6 months or two years.

Examples, oil pump, oil pan, fuel pump, water pump.
Any known ideas that work is appreciated. I'm making a list of everything that is needed before I start.
6.0 bored 30 over to 6.7
408 stroker rotating assembly kit
Forged connecting rods, and pistons
Ls3 top end kit
Ls6 cam ( unsure about this)
All new arp bolts
New Metal gaskets
New freeze plugs
New oil galley plugs (including barbell looking one)
Sure I'm forgetting something
My biggest concern is putting a system together and have it not have enough of something.

Try and get TSP ls3 cnc ported heads or some AFR heads. Fuel injectors is a must, search around on here about 408 builds and find out what size injectors they commonly use. I may also forgot something as well.
