Why tear down a good engine just to use the block? When Iron 4" bore 6.0L blocks are widely available. Add in the fact you can build the long block without disabling your truck.

I vote for a 4" stroke, 4.030" bore 408 CI, Why build a smaller under-square engine for the same money. Plus you can run L92/LS3 heads with a 4" bore, Bigger valves, Better valve spacing, Bigger intake ports.
Honestly that is what I was thinking though. My engine is totally fine just doesn't make sense for me to tear it down just for the block. I get all excited sometimes, then when I think about it more just doesn't sound as good
Would a 6.0 basically take up the same amount of space in the engine bay?
