don't make anywhere near the profit on a 6.0 as I do 4.8's and 5.3's.

4.8 & 5.3 - under $200.00
6.0 - $800 and up

If you want a 6.0 I am sure i can get you one, but they aren't cheap

Thanks Nick for the offer. I am not in a position to put a motor in this thing right now. I was thinking of putting in a stock used motor for now, but I really dont want to have to pull the motor again once I get enough cash saved. I really think its time to just let it sit until I can afford a good built motor and just do it once....

Well I got the passenger side lifters out tonight and they checked out fine. Going to pull the other head off tomarrow since I have the day off. Also I was told I should cut open the oil filter just to make sure there isnt any metal in there. How do I go about cutting it open? Do I need a special tool?
