Talked to the guy, he said he knows its not an LS2, he just used that to rack up some views for his ad. Engine was damaged initially, he didn't know how. The shop he works for pulled it because it was going to be cheaper to replace the engine rather than repair it. Apparently the cam was pitted, and the lifters were in shambles. Again, don't know how it happened... But the cam and lifters were replaced and he says it runs now.

Thoughts, opinions?

 

Ehhh bump? Come on guys, need some opinions here. I know someone's got something to say!

 

I'd skip it. You're taking a chance of that engine being in worse shape than this guy says. "LS2 out of a 2000 silverado"? He's looking to **** someone who doesn't know anything over.

If I had an NNBS, I'd get the money together for a 6.2 thats running.

 

^^I agree..dont be in a rush...have fun with your 5.3 for awhile..save some money and build it right.
-If you ever have to ask a second opinion, your instinct is telling you NO....

 

My instinct isn't telling me no, I just don't know exactly how much a used engine like this is worth. Good thing is, I know a few things, so I won't be getting fucked over. He says it runs, so that's good already. All I need is an engine that turns over. Everything except the block and heads will be replaced. It won't be a rushed or overnight thing, either.

 

Those look like iron heads, must be an early 6.0

Hard to tell from Alaska though. lol

I say NO on this deal.

 

Yes that looks like an iron headed 6 litre. I wouldn't buy that man, keep an eye out for other deals.

 

Whats the downside to iron heads? Everyone else I've talked to in person says jump on it.

 

i woulnt pay more than 400 for it.. the rotating assembly is useless to anyone without manual.. the heads are junk and probably couldnt be given away lol... i doubt a 10 yr old motor has 90k also..
im just sayin hah

 

Apparently I can get a block new from GM for near the same price. So I will have to pass up this one..
