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.

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.

Another show Lady- Why does your car say Corvette on the engine? We have a Corvette and your car doesn't look like one. LMFAO

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