    6.0 or 6.2

    Looking to build a motor for my next project. I found a 6.2 shortblock rebuilt for a little over 2k but would still have to buy heads, cam, intake, acc., etc etc. 6.0 are alot easier to find and the 6.2 im sure will cost more to build. What would be the pros and cons to each. And which would be the best bang for the buck. I know SilverSleeper s truck made almost 400rwhp witha tune, drop in filter and exhaust.

    The hp numbers don't lie when it comes to which makes more power, but I agree that the 6.2 would cost much more to get together.

    Not wanting to go that in depth. Thinking heads, cam, intake, headers, Nitrous, etc etc. And the 10k is if i can get the ride on the cheap. The price has already dropped a few times so im hoping i can get it cheaper
