Where have all of yall been buying yalls 6.0L's from, we own a towing business and I know I could call some local big Junk Yards to see if they have any. I would like to fine something under at least 40K miles, around the 2000 or less range. I like to change the Pistons, Rods, Springs, and put a mild cam in and slap the Procharger to it. Which is the best bet with the Procharger a LQ4 or LQ9, I want something that will like to turn some rev's and handle some boost. Since I finally got my Level 5 FLT 65e & PI 3000 10.5 Converter on the way, a mild built 6.0L is going to be my next headache. I want a complete takeout 6.0L and just buy other mods and slap them in there than put the motor in my truck. Where is the best place to look on the net. I tried EGAY with no success. Or were is a good place to call to get one pretty reasonable. Thanks
6.0L

buy mine! longblock with 65K miles $1500

 

PM me when you get a chance. I just bought a 2005 LQ4 with 100 miles (yes 100) complete for $2000. Complete meaning intake, throttlebody, injectors, wires, plugs, fan, engine cover, exhaust manifolds, ALTERNATOR, AC unit, PCM, starter, water pump, COMPLETE. Shipping was like another $180.

 

Thanks for the replies which would be my best bet the LQ4 or LQ9, I'm sure I will be able to fine a LQ4 alot cheaper than a LQ9. I'm not in no big rush or anything, I 'm going to half to see how much its going to cost me after my tranny install and couple lil more things. But the 6.0L is for sure going to be my next project. Anymore good places to check out on the net. or call.
Danali HD is that just for the longblock or complete motor.
BADMOFO I'll shoot you a pm if I dont have any luck. thats about what i'm lookin for but maybe a lil cheaper. Only way I would give 2000 for 6.0L if it was a nearly new LQ9. Thanks for the replies

 

mine would be a longblock

 

Whats would be the best bet if your going to swap cams, pistons, and rods the LQ4. BADMOFO I'm still going to keep you in mine, but were is some more good places to look.........

 

The LQ4 is better suited for FI applications cus of the lower compression ratio, but since you want to change out the stock pistons, either motor will work as long as you lower the compression ration on an LQ9.

If I were you, I would look for a used LQ4 since they seem to be more abundant and cheaper than the LQ9s.

 

There're some lq4s around ebay once in a while. Your local auto salvages would also be a good place to start looking.

 

I found one at a local salvage yard via car-parts.com
