So ive been looking at a couple 6.0 engines and I know Id be better off with 03 and up but what I dont know is that does it have to come out of a 1500 series pickup or would a 2500hd, 3500 Van, engine work becuase most engines im finding are pick outs from 3500 series vans. If someone could clear this up for me.Thx Ben
I would think any 03 will work.
99RCSB Broke because I wasted thousands and thousands of dollars on my truck.
so if i bought one from an 03 3500hd it will work
another one i found had no oil pan do you know of any reason it would come with it?
Don't buy one without an oil pan from a salvage yard. It may have been sold seperately but I'd steer clear of it.

why, is that?Originally Posted by RedHeartbeat
i have located one that is a 02 escalade and it has the 317s and the crank turns over fine and there was no water in the oil?
Unless you know exactly why the pan was pulled I'd just steer clear. It may be because there was a noise and they investigated it and failed to re-install the pan. How was the engine stored, on a stand? Without the oil that was in it still being in there, how can you check the oil condition? No smell test, no sample test able to be run by a lab, who knows the truth about what went on with the engine. They may have just pulled the pan to sell it seperately but its not worth the risk to me unless they sell it to you for about $500 for the risk or they give you a 90 day warranty active from the day the engine starts in your conversion, not the day it leaves their yard.

ive gotten mine out of an 04 escalade, with very little miles on it, didnt all escalades come with the LQ9's? or was it 04 and up?
Simple: 408 on steroids!
single digits coming soon!
3500 6.0 should work someone correct me if I am wrong. I would stay away from any motor that did not come with an oil pan. Make sure you get one from some worthy company like LKQ
