Is there a reason you are building up a 4.8/5.3 lower end? I would think in terms of cost vs hp it would be better to start with a 6.0 if you are sinking money into it.

I thought so too but Imo it's all the same just with a different name. Guys pump serious hp out of these 4.8/5.3 blocks and since it's so much easier to get one of these vs a 6.0 I just grabbed it.

Don't get me wrong, if it was a 6.oh sitting in that truck I would've grabbed that pretty darn quick haha
