Well I found a cast iron LQ9 6.0 block finally ! !

So far what I have gathered is a
-6.0l LQ9 gen III 400$
-4.030" wisco forged -3.2cc pistons 700$
-callies compstar "I" beam 6.125" rods 700$
-ARP mainstuds 234 5608 215$
-Machine work and assembly 1273.16

Totaling 3288.16

Going with a TSP Magic stick 4 239/242 .649"/.609" Camshaft

Heads will be ordered next week. Going to bring down the budget a little and go with PRC 5.3 heads at 62CC along with cometic .040" head gaskets.

Rockers will get the trunion upgrade

Intake will stay with the LS6 for the time being since my original schedule got bumper up by 6 months

Any advice or suggestions are welcome. Extremely excited to do this build

Also what do you guys think an LS1 with no covers /w 243's, tsp torquer v2 cam should be worth from complete?
Trying to weigh my options if its worth selling as a whole or not.
