[QUOTE="redneckengineered, post: 717615, member: 503"] For $5k I'm probably not going to "build" anything. No one ever talks about the L96. It is a Gen IV 6.0 iron block found in 2010 and up GM/Chevy work trucks meaning they are super plentiful and still can be found with lower mileage. They're in junkyards all over and can be snagged with all the accessories, ECM, pedal, and harness for a couple grand. They are a VVT motor and have the monster LS3 rectangle port heads. You can toss a cam and tune in these and break 500hp easy while maintaining good trail characteristics. I've seen it done with the dyno sheets to prove it. Then on down the line if you ever want to build a stroker you already have the perfect platform to work from. I would either do that or look for a 6.2 (L92 or L94) which would be harder to find and more expensive but you could still come in under your 5k budget if you were not in a rush and waited for the right deal.
