Well, I put a Musi 502 in my 67 C-10. It made a measley 640rwhp. Lets see a 6.0 or 5.3 do that on 93 octane with no power adder. I would like to see it even with a power adder.LOL. I like my 5.3RC BTW. I just bought an aluminum 5.3 for 350.00 it only had 40,000 miles on it. I kicked around the idea of putting an LS motor in my Pro truck. Nothing makes em shake in the booties like a BB. Especially one that NOW has Twin 88's on it!
a 502 is not a 396, and the 364 6.0 will easily out perform the 396. the extra 32 cubes is quite a bit, but the gen 3 motors are more efficient. it will take less to get the 6.0 to 400+rwhp then the 396.Quote:

To the OP
do what you will be proud of owning when its done. the bb is old school and is a beast, the 6.0 is updated and is a beast, the 5.3 is a cruiser that will get you good milage to shows/cruise nights, the ls1 is updated and more costly then any of the other options.
you take your Musi 502 vs a SAM 500 and lets see who makes more powerQuote:

and when i say 500 i do mean 500ci
Well, I like the idea of a roller cam, and the coil packs are cool, plus it would already have fuel injection.
6.0 it is!
By the way, how much more would a 6.2 like from a Escalade cost?
A lot more right now.
Well, Considering my 502 has now passed the Cummins in the HP dept. I will be around every local dragstrip in Houston after Jan 15th. (like I always am) I put the Goodyears on and I can run the "SAM500" on some of my test passes. I know my 502 is making well over 1000rwhp but have not tuned the suspension for the new power, so now would be the time to beat an Old School BBC.Quote:

I like my LS motor, but I know what gets the job done "CONSISTENTLY."
it would be alot, and even more to upgrade, the vvt cams cost there wieght in gold right now. if you want something bigger then a 6.0 I would just build a 383 ls1(6.3).Quote:

I've read about 408, is that a 6.0 block with a stroker crank?
How about that with the L92 heads and LS3 intake & throttle body, make some pretty decent power?
402 is a 4" stroke in a stock 4" bore 6L block. 408 is 4.03" bore with 4" stroke.
should make great power, I would love to be able to build a 408. but all my money gets sucked into my house.Quote:
