So heres the deal. My good friend down here has a complete low mileage 6.0 LQ9 motor with the 317s and 10.75 compression ratio he will let it go for 1500 or so. I am thinking I might do that and put a different cam in it with new springs,pushrods, and arp headbolts and new gaskets. Ill def. have to put a set of injectors and a pump in it, but thats not a big deal. Ill keep the ls6 intake and my headers etc. Then once Ive got more money I can build up that 6.0 instead of a 5.7.

I know it does weigh more being a iron block but for the price and the room to grow with it I think its a good deal.

with nitrous the iron block is a good idea.

GOOD DEALLLL id jump all over it!!!! now do you or dont you need LT1 front springs with the added weight?

Not too sure on that one Mike. Eaither way Ive already got the Eibach springs from slp with revalved Bilstiens all the way around. So I dont plan on changing them unless I really need too.

just get a tubular K-Member to balance the weight savings.

Sounds good Justin!

That sounds pretty reasonable, looks like a good route to take.
