would it be cheaper to just buy the 408 short block and put my 5.3 heads and all my accesories on it or to just buy a turnkey? I have a 4.8 motor in there now but i aquired some 5.3 heads to work on while im still drivin. Cant sell it so i may as well make it a monster. also would i get more power from a stroker motor or just turbochargin it?
408 all forged ........$3600
Go turbo or high compression. :thumb:

I am new to the whole LS combo but will the 5.3 or 5.7 heads it the 6.0 block and this 408?
they will fit but you'll want some heads the really breathe. ETPs are about the best you can get. Patriot is a good cheap alternative. Remember, you get what you pay for when it comes to heads.

Yes :doh:
Gotta give thumbs up to Billy's motors. I've been beating the crap outta this 5.3 to 5.7 forged motor (stock crank). Couldn't be happier. I'm actually considering getting a 408 myself.
