    So this is probably a dumb question...

    So the answer to this is prolly obvious and I just have failed to notice but where can I find pistons and rods for a 6.0? I'm gonna have to have it bored 30 over and it already needs three pistons and a rod. (dropped a valve) Pretty much I'm looking for a fairly cheap stock or close to stock setup for the bottom end. All help is greatly appreciated.

    You will need a full set of custom pistons if you're having it bored 30 over. Stock pistons wont fit anymore. I believe Eagle makes the cheapest pistons you'd need.

    I would get a good set of pistons, a good set of rods, and use your stock crank if I were you.
