I've been searching for an LS? engine to swap into my Buick and ran across a deal on some NEW L92s. They are GM "overstock". They were intended for 08 Denali/Yukon/Escalades. They have never been installed or ran!!!

They are complete intake-pan-flexplate-water pump.

They do NOT include: wiring harness, ECM, or drive accessories (not that that matters if you are doing a truck swap).

I have to buy at least two to get a deal.
Anyone else want one for $3500?

A local late model yard got them from the GM plant (here in Janesville) that builds GM full size SUVs.

 

Just got an Email from Speartech. They make a stand alone harness w custom tuned ECU for $1495!!

 

If i had the cash, id buy one.

Why so much rust and corrosion on them, where they sitting outside for awhile and rained on. Any moisture damage that you have seen so far as you have been working on your personal motor.

 

I have not dis-asembled any of them yet. Clearly they did get wet at some point. The yard I got them from actually washes thier parts. Not sure if this was when it was caused or if they got wet after/during the derail. Either way, they are capped off, I am not worried about internal damage. The corrosion is light, and cosmetic only.

The yard I got them from stores them inside. It's actually a pretty high tech place. And it is blocks from the GM plant, so its not like they spent alot of time in transit. So again my best guess is they were pressure washed by the yard, or maybe it was raining/snowing when they collected them from the derailed freight car.

These are available for inspection. And like you said, I plan to use one in my own project.

 

Where can I find more info on this model engine. I looked in GM performance parts but could not find info on a 6.2 capable of the 400 horse range. Might you have seen anything on the web I could read. Also is this a aluminum block motor. Thanks

 

i believe this motor is standard on escalades and denalis, it rates at 404 hp i think!!!!!!!!!!!all aluminum block indeed

 

I would have been real interested too, except I just bought a new GMPP LS6 crate engine to replace the tired 5.3 in my Suburban.

Here's a pretty good description of the L92 with some specs from crateenginedepot's site:

Looks like these guys pretty well covered it.
All aluminum (heads and block).
403 HP and 417 ft-lbs in the Escalade, I assume they just underrate them in the Denalis.
