6.0l stroker ?
Well I my thoughts are all over the place. In the last little while I have picked up a ready to stab 5.3l, but decided to give it to my dad for his 68 c10. I decided I would hold off on getting an ls for my 70 until I was done learning on my dads build. But then an opertunity came up and I picked up a 6.0l of $100. It is only the motor though. So I started looking around for computer and trany. Talked to my cousin and he gave me a rolled 2000 z71 farm truck that has been laying in the weeds for 5 years. Hoping I can use some of the parts to get a complete package for my 6.0 L possibly. I have been trying to read up on line but there is so much info out there on ls motors but I feel like the more information I read up on the more I realize I don't know what I'm doing.
Sorry to bore you with all the details. At first I was thinking about going turbo on my LS motors. But the more I think about it my main goal is to have a very reliable fun to drive street truck. I do not plan to do much If any racing.I just want a good reliable truck with enough horsepower to be fun and mean. But it really would be fun to do something different for wow factor. Right now in my life I don't think I have enough time to figure out all the plumbing for a turbo build. I think that's down the road for me. So I got to thinking what about a stroker. It would give me probably more horsepower than I need and still give me something different to talk about instead of just a basic LS swap. I own an auto parts store and my tenant is a machinist who is a good friend so this would be a lot more doable timewise I believe . So my question to you guys is what are some of the advantages and disadvantages to going with this stroker kit in a 6.0 L???? Thank you for helping me get started with this LS journey !!!!
