Going to pick up another short block

Iron 6.0 turned 408" 6 bolt to work with my heads.
Callies crank and rods
Weisco -20cc pistons

Essentially my same motor just a 4.03" bore vs a 4.083" bore and a dished piston. This should handle the turbos nicely.

Re: Going to pick up another short block

I bought it even though I will not use the 6 bolt head set up on it. They welded 1"wide x 1"wide x 2"deep blocks both in the lifter valley and out side of the block. Just not sure I trust it. Plus the ones in the lifter valley are not even tapped.

I will take the motor completely apart to look it over, but I think it was a good buy.
