My Great Luck

Well a couple months ago I bought an ls1 when my 5.3 went boom for reasons of my own fault. Well I have been trying to get it finished and finally had to send it to a friend. Well today I got the news the ls1 I bought had bad bearings. So now I dont have my truck and no motor isnt that great ?

So now I have a bigger plan since my ls1 is trash. I need help finding a complete ls6 yep thats right a complete ls6 with brackets and t56 trans and wiring harness. I'll be using the motor in my trukc and then rebuilding the ls1 and using the trans/brackets to put an ls1 into my 69 corvette. So am I crazy or what ?

Man that sucks, sorry to hear about your truck's engine, on the other hand that is going to be a hell of a z06 truck :eek: :burnout: .

there's a long block on ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAP...item=2451962605
It's not a complete engine but maybe you can get it cheap.

These are the P/N of the engine:

12498399.- GMPP, 5.7L 350ci V8 Gas Engine - 2001-2003 Corvette LS6 Service Engine with Corvette and Camaro oil pans. SBC crate engine.

12578104.- GMPP, 5.7L 350ci V8 Gas Engine - 2004 Corvette LS6 405HP. SBC crate engine. Approximately 550 lbs. crated weight.

Good luck with your project.

Kevin's (vv8) bud is sellin '01 Z06 crate motors for $2500.

Don't tell him about those ls6's, hahaha, i want one.

Also, check out and call www.hpsalvage.com he has some, not sure if they are ls1's or 6's.

good luck, you better get that truck running so you can go to the Spring Break shootout, no more excuses and leave that Tahoe at home, hahahha

see ya,

allen

whaaaaaaaaat, that's a long block with accessories? Would the truck accs bolt up? Probably need the 4L80E tranny though, huh?

Ok well I"m on the search for a wrecked f body so I can compare prices and such so does anyone know where to look ? I guess it's time to search through some local stuff and then part out the car that might be my best bet at this point. What do ya'll think ?

Last I heard wrecked f-bodies were bringing a premium price. I would just buy what you need. JMO!

Well thats not good but it seems the best route to go for me right now so is my best bet to call local junk yards to see what they have ?

......and f-bodies dont have LS6's in them.

thought you wanted an ls6?

I'd like to find one but truthfully they are very hard to come by especially as pullouts.

that LS6 long block on ebay the mexican found said it weighed 550lbs. anyone kno what a LS1 or 5.3L truck motor weigh? just wonderin how they compare

Well I found a motor I"m going with a 6.0 and will be in the truck this weekend. Allen I'll be down there in about two weeks.
