    The the only problem. 4.8/5.3's can be had for a few hundred with under 100K miles on them.

    LQ4/9's bring over a grand and have 100K+ on them. I think your lucky if you can find one for under a grand.

        People have caught on to the 6.0L now. All that I have seen online are going for $800 + depending on miles.


        Id love a to build a high reving 4.8 or even a 5.3 with 6lbs of boost through an ebay turbo.

          6psi is nothing for those stock 4.8's and 5.3's.

          There are guys on tech and GMHTP throwing 20PSI+ at those stock shortblocks and going very fast. They seem to last a long time when in the hands of someone that knows what there doing also.

                    Yes. Stock rods, Stock pistons, and Stock crank. All as came from GM.

                    The stock shortblock LSx record is actually held by an aluminum 5.3. 8.65@167
