Just wanted to share my build on here, I blew headgaskets in the 6.0 for the second time at 194k miles and when I tore it down the heads had about 30 cracks each so I decided it was time to stop wasting money.
The truck is an 03 CCLB King Ranch F-350 4x4 and I had bought an 01 dodge donor truck for the swap. When I pulled the engine out of the dodge and pulled the head off I found water had got down in 2 cylinders and done some damage so Ive done a complete rebuild of the engine including ditching the VP in favor of a P pump.
Engine parts include:
Crank polished
Engine bored .020 over with new pistons
Main and rod journals all checked out good, new bearings and wrist pins
Head decked, new valve seals, guides, hardened valve seats (head had cracks in 4 seats originally)
Hamilton 110# springs
H-11 head studs
DDP 150s set to 290 bar
190hp industrial p pump with 12mm plungers
Timing set at 21*, 4gsk springs, 191 dvs, deeper rack plug
II silver bullet 66mm turbo
.084 injection lines
Airdog 150 and sump
Im also gonna run the 47re that I just got built by firepunk diesel with everything but a billet intermediate and output
DPC triple disk converter and SFI flexplate are going in as well.
Gonna run the DLD case for the time being
Here are some pictures of the build so far, Im just waiting on my injection lines and destroked engine mounts to arrive so I can put the engine in the truck
The truck:
