Look what I picked up today (6.0L)
I didn't want to put the money out right now, but I got a hell of a deal. The 6.0L came out of a 2003 GMC savana (van) 3500. The motor has less than 2000KM on it, it still has the factory oil filter. I bought it at a salvage yard just around the corner from where I work, $2200CDN the yard guy told me they just started lowering there prices to move more volume. A month ago they wanted $3200 for 2001 6.0ls with 80-100k on them.
Now what do you guys think of my low lift 212/218 cam in this motor, a little small?
GM fixed the piston slap for 2003 right.

Congrats on your new purchase. I just bought the 212/218 high lift 558/563 for my new 6.0L, it seemed to be the cam of choice around here when trying to maintain drivability and reliability.
