Here are a few pictures of this motor that I was going to buy. They want $800 for it and I just don't know if it's worth that much! What could be the worst case and best case scenario here? I'm just not too familiar with the 6.0's and don't know exactly what I'm looking at as far as the damage goes. If you can tell me what you see that's screwed up and what I'd need to fix it that'd be great! The guy says that the manifold is busted, and that one of the valve covers is popped up (looks to be rusted spring inside), and that there is a bracket sheared (for what, I don't know, maybe you can tell me). Hopefully some of you experts can tell me what you see in these pictures and how much it'll cost to fix it. By the way, the motor is a 2002, and has 60,000 miles on it. Is it worth $800?

 

hell no its not worth 800....you'd have to spend that much to get it in decent condition....stay away there are too many good ones that come up for sale

 

holy ****.... ripped the injectors right out stay away from that one no telling what happend to it

 

offer him $50 and a 12pk of his favorite beer... that about all its worth IMO.... definitely not $800 anyday of the week. I would be willing to bet that the bottom end is still fine....

 

Normally i would say dont judge a book by its cover..... but in this case tahts one helluva cover.... i wouldnt even offer him a 12 pack... itd be a sixer

definitely killing me to find out WTF!!!!! happened to taht thing??

looks almost like possible front end collision right at the alternator??

 

Wonder if theres a nitrous injector big enough to fit that hole in the plenum??

 

AHHHH spiders!!!

 

eeekkk..... sorry i may be 6'5" but spiders are my major phobia..... shivering just thinkin aboutr them..... damn you silver

 

spiders drop dead at the sound of my voice...i aint skurred....wasps on the other hand.....wont get me near one, unless im tryin to look like a bad ***, then ill risk it haha

 

I saw that spider too! That should tell you right there that engine is cursed. I'm willing to bet that it was one NASTY rollover accident, or they hit something that knocked the alternator off and it took out everything in its path. I wouldn't get too affraid of it, but I would definatley pull the pan, intake (duh) and heads before anything. If he can back up the mileage, then I say $650-750.
