Welcome from Texas. And I like the 4.8 for budget reasons. Do the conversion first get it squared away, and running good. Also decide if you are going N/A or F/I. And then, get and build a 6.0 longblock for what you want it to be.

The best advice I have ever heard:... Only take B( . Y . )ST advice from someone that is CURRENTLY running a turbo setup close to, or bigger than what you want......
yeah i was thinking of something along those lines if i get into it deep enough. with the GTO i wound up building a pretty intense and very expensive all motor car, and in hindsight it would have been far more effective just to turbo it.
The truck is an 02 with 170k on the odo, hes the original owner and will give it away for 1000 bucks when hes ready for his new car in the next little while. I have a company car for work so i'm just looking for something to keep me busy and have a little fun. I MAY end up going with something a little lower on the miles, but being that everything is going to get swapped out anyway, the 1000 dollar straight body seems like a good way to go at this point.
You'll be replacing everything that mileage is going to have an effect on anyway. LQ9 with 243 heads and a nice cam... then 4l80e and a nice 3600+ stall and you'll be good.

2013 FORD CCSB F350 6.7 Powerstroke 4x4
That'd be the ideal setup right there... and i'm with you on the replacing everything that matters. I just got out of my landrover with 130k on the clock, replacements on that were quite pricey, i'm glad to be back to chevy's where everything is "cheap" and doesnt break for no good reason.Originally Posted by pl4yboy
