Just got my 6.0 home. Bout to pull it off the truck and tear it down. I have pictures that I will upload when I get my computer. Let the work begin.

A little info: LQ4 said to have come from a 2004 denali. Obviously the miles arent what i thought but its whatever. The plans are to tear it down to bare block. Get everything cleaned and see how it looks after that to determine whether i reuse stock bottom end or not. I am undecided on cam/spring combo but do plan to have the 317 heads p&p and valve job. New lifters, valves, pushrods, etc. Undecided on intake setup, and I am open to suggestions.

Thanks for looking guys.

Get those pics up, im intrested

Good luck

 

Back to the comp. Will upload pics in a minute. Ran into a snag trying to find an engine hoist!

 

Been there, seen that

 

Ha I was gonna say no you havent but I forgot I sent you a pic already.

 

I know it's a little bit dirty, and by looking at it seems like it may have not been taken care of/been sitting for a minute. Anyway, I looked close and crosshatching is still visible, but once everything is disassembled and cleaned I can go from there. Will be taking many pictures so stay tuned for more updates.

 

Looks like its definitely gonna get bored out lol

 

370 in my future? Maybe, we wil see what it looks like after a good cleaning. Might be tomorrow when I can start though. Gotta buy a few things when I get my paycheck.

 

hopefully its just surface rust for ya, when i opened mine i had next to no surface rust but had a spot on one cylinder wall where the rust made a nice little groove so i had to go 370.

 

I might not work tomorrow (weather pending). And I will be able to put some time into it. It really just seems like slight surface rust. Either way, I'm liking the 370 idea. I need to price things out fr a 370 build and compare.
