WTB 6.0 Powerstroke

[JeffH454]

Son decided to throw big injectors , turbo and tune at his 6.0 and boom so now we're looking for a new engine. I'm interested in long and short blocks..rebuilt or good used condition.

Thank you, Jeff

I am no help in your search, but did have a question. The 6.0 Powerstroke was plagued with issues from the factory. I know that there has been alot of aftermarket support to fix those issues and to my understanding it was decent motor after those fixes. Putting budget a side, is it worth building the 6.0 again vs going for the newer 6.7 or an older 7.3? I like living dangerously so i assumed that the tranny bolts right up to both of my alternate choices.

Paging @Mattman347 for some Powerstroke info.

Once you address the shortcomings of a 6.0 they can be real screamers…why you'd want that in a work truck is beyond me but my 22 year old son seems to love them , his truck's a 4x4 6 speed and his bulletproof'd and semi-built 6.0 really liked reving through a manual trans.

He bought the truck as a tired old 2wd auto with a stock but bulletproof'd engine that had 347K hard miles on it …they can be good power plants once you address all the common problems.

Thank you for the response. Always good to have some real world information beyond the interwebs.

Take a look at Kill Devil Diesel and Asheville engine and machine, thy both have good reputations for rebuilt 6.0L's. What broke on this particular one anyway?

Too big a tune/injectors…high EGT's during a heavy pull.. burnt piston and broke rod .
