    The walls arent that bad, but there are some nicks in them only towards the top of the wall near the head. I think they could be easly bored a little or just honed out. If you mean 370 as in stroking the motor, I dont know if that will be in a budget to get the motor in the truck in a reasonable amount of time. I have kids and a wife, that should tell you something!! Where would I start looking for the kits? Or just the pistons? I am not really wanting a stock motor, I just dont have funds available to make a 408.

    Would there be a benifit to putting on the 6.0 intake with injectors right now, and are the coil packs the same as a 5.3?

    370 is just a .030 overbore, coil packs are the same unless its an LQ9. Injectors are the same. If it cleans up with a hone, there is a bajillion piston choices for the 4.00 inch bore, and you will find exactly what you want.

    If you want to go back stock I have a few LQ4 pistons. I can send you one for shipping. Your engine should be a LQ4 if it came from a van. I have a set of 317 heads I would sell for like $40 too. I would recommend new valve seals in them and clean them up before installing.

    6.0 intake is the same. Coils may or may not be the same. Unless they are D585s I wouldn't bother.

    Thanks for the info!! I think I will go with the 370 and use my 862 heads, I believe I will net more compression from what I remember reading? PitchBackC3, I may still get those from you anyway. That also gives me an option to go back to stock, but my plan is to race, just with a LOW budget for now. This is just a start for me and will go bigger when I can.
