TurbochargedBerserker Posted December 29, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2004 ok you said you decked it to 9.24 and someone told me thats what the blocks are originally. so how tall is the block in completely stock trim? also, how thick is the head gasket you went with? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I was told that the stock blocks are +/- a few thou. If its already exactly 9.24, it will just be squared. The MLS is compressed to .52 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GEAR M UP Posted December 29, 2004 Report Share Posted December 29, 2004 Erik and Ben, Did you guys use the stock block and go up to 408? I've got my stock 6.0L on an engine stand looking all lonely....... My engine builder might be selling STS and he's looking for a truck donor.

BenKey Posted December 29, 2004 Report Share Posted December 29, 2004 Erik and Ben, Did you guys use the stock block and go up to 408? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> My block, although a 408, is the same as the stock block, just bored out .030". You're the one with the "special" block Erik's is the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
