The problem is finding them to begin with. I guess if I were to need new pistons, cams or something hard, if not impossible to find, I'd have to have them custom made to the original specs. No companies I have looked at so far, have a rebuild kit, or even any of the parts what-so-ever for the 6.0 engine. Seems the the rebuild kit for a 5.6 is much easier to come by.

Probably so, as you can just order a stage 1 or 2 repair kit from the dealer for the 5.6. If you are going to do the footwork yourself, that is a whole different deal! But then again, you can always go custom at that point

I personally think that the car is frickin' HOT!!!!!! It just looks like pure muscle...........now if a Camry could beat it I don't know, but I think a Camry is a fuddy duddy car...........the Red Mercedes 500 SEC makes a STATEMENT when you arrive to get groceries .

If I had 30,000 in expendable cash, that car would be sitting in my garage!

I never claimed not to be a smart-ass. Besides, better to be that than a liar who just makes things up.

Yeah, Ok big guy what ever you say, I don't have the car.

Yet, I posted pictures with myself IN the friggin car, and the car sitting in my driveway, and in the yard of my summer home also. I never even covered the Connecticut plates on it in the pictures, to show nothing to hide.... You really are an @$$&%$ , It isn't just rumor I heard from other forum members about you.
