Default 4.8/5.3 swap in my C6 base.

I’m currently in the process of building a 4.8/5.3 iron block for my base model C6 (05). I plan to turbo in the future. What rotating assemblies would y’all recommend? Links would be very much appreciated!

Just get a Gen 4 motor and leave the bottom end stock gap the rings for boost. This is exactly what i did for my z06 turbo setup but i am using an aluminum 5.3. Plenty of guys have made in the 8-900s on them. Shoot someone local to me traps in the 170s sbe.

If it breaks another $400 and send it again.
