yopu dont think the added weight will drop the nose a bit? fuck don added a K-Member and had the lower the nose of his car afterwards.

No money for a k-member now. Plus the motor is coming out of the top so I really dont have the room in my garage to drop the cradle. I am sure if I really needed to I would but an extra 450 or more isnt going to be in the budget.

The front will drop a good 1/2-1" .

KNEW it!!! ok just making sure

if it iron with 317' on it wouldnt that make it a lq4

No its a LQ9 cause its got the higher compression pistons in it...

Still not too sure what I want to do. I would really like to just forge the bottom end Ive got now, that way I will have a stout bottom end and pistons and rings for the juice. I know the 6.0 is a good deal and I can build on it later but I really dont want to do shit twice. I am guessing with some ARP rod and head bolts the 6.0 would be pretty stout but its still a stock setup. EHH this shit is driving me nuts. LOL

Have you figured out what failed yet?

No not yet. Motor is still in the car. Probably not going to finish pulling it until Ive got the cash set to fix it.

Trade ya my 6.0 for it! lol
