Building a 408 Stroker from a junkyard engine!

[@JOMaMa..]

Complete tear down cleanse , inspect and replace only worn components engine will run good for many years. I worked around the corner from you at MaterCraft for a few years

[@MerricksGarage]

Yup! That’s the plan

[@theshark2804]

If only I could find a super cheap 6.0 block.

[@MerricksGarage]

junkyard?

[@theshark2804]

@@MerricksGarage nope. They pick them off before they hit the yards. It’s getting really sad here in nor cal.

[@littlejimmy2164]

What motor mounts are those?

[@Mason57184]

How much did the machine shop cost? I have an old LQ4 6.0 laying around that could be a good 408 stroker

[@MerricksGarage]

Not sure, around $1000 I yhink

[@labanyahawadah4890]

That’s not a lq4. Look at the pistons?

Geez the collective extends beyond a specific era. It’s more of a corporate enterprise.
