Re: *new* need a little help on a 6.0l build
The older '82-93 trucks weigh less, 2800lbs is easily attainable in those. My first one was 2880lbs with V8. The only weight savers were a fiberglass hood and roll pan.

Re: *new* need a little help on a 6.0l build
Good Luck on your build. By the way, are you sure the truck didn't start the fire? Ford had lots of recalls for the criuse control switches starting fires |

Re: *new* need a little help on a 6.0l build
To the original poster, sorry about your truck man that is terribly heart breaking. My truck is a real 4000LBS but as 99 Bucket mentioned its full weight, stereo, subs, A/C cruise, Heat, 9", Cage, Bedliner, Spare tire all that crap. Looking forward to seeing a build. Best of luck dude. |

Re: *new* need a little help on a 6.0l build
Not Very difficult with the right package I would say. Still kicking down 26-27mpg Highway on mine right now. Smallish cam and a healthy turbo. |

Re: *new* need a little help on a 6.0l build
My transmission is a Finishline Level 5 4L60E with billet output shaft, parts supplied by Finishline and assembled by me. Currently running Motron 60#'s , Fuel pump is stock 2.2L Flex fuel pump. I found the end of it though... Wont do 15psi  I have never posted any pics of the setup on the truck. I havent really gotten any good ones. I have some that arent so great of it when it was pretty dirty under there. I will have to upload and send them to you. Not sure if your aware but my setup is rear mounted. |

Re: *new* need a little help on a 6.0l build
ok i thought a 6.0l was 370 cube (i have a lot to learn) or is there a difference in aluminun and iron block cubes?? i have a iron block with 317 casting heads ported and 30 thousands taken off for higher compression (i wouldn't had done that but got the whole setup SUPER cheap) the short block is all forged with flat top pistons w/ valve reliefs, i also have a ls6 intake with stock f-body throttle body and fuel rails.... what would you do with this setup..(change heads or pistons and turbo it or leave it alone and turbo it or just leave it be and spay the shit out of it..lol) this will be a STREET TRUCK with drag truck suspention.. ok ok maybe a drag truck with a/c and power stearing and over drive...LMAO |
