6.0 ls iron block

Chevy ls2 engine very little run time, like new
High, but alum.

Parting Out 01 Chevy/GMC 2500

That truck is miled out........No mileage listed.

I'd like to say there is a cool story behind this, but in reality I just had to park in the wet grass last night so some guests could park in the driveway.... Had to make an oil run this morning...

Park that on grass, roll down the windows, and I would swear it just came off the track.

Geez.... Enabler....

One thing I found out is the early 6.0s had iron heads and a couple other little differences that make them a little more difficult to use. I haven't figured out exactly when the changes took place, but know if I stick around the 03-04 I am good. In 05 I believe they went to drive by wire so I'd have to swap the TB..

If I could find somebody that would let me race it around on a dirt track, I'd be there in a heartbeat!

The 6.0 in my 04 has ally heads.
But you can not have it.....

That's just mean...

I actually found a 2500 van with acceptable mileage and cheap. Doesn't say which engine is in it though... I've run across those 3/4 ton vans with the 4.3 v6 before... And the van is trashed, doubt the engine was cared for. Plus I really don't want to have to pull an engine out then figure out what to do with the rest of the van.

A few years ago, I could have possibly hooked you up.

Looks like we can start a go fund me and rent Paragon Speedway for you. $500 for 2 cars but no mention of how long.

I was hoping for more of a less insurance involved option.

My first car was a 23 T-bucket that my dad and I built together when I was 15 years old. The bad thing was we got it done before I got my licence so he had to drive my car to car shows and I just rode along. Once I did get my license he ended up building his own T-bucket.

That is very cool but winter and "T" buckets are not compatible.

Nonsense! Convertibles in winter are fun!

For a moment here and there heck yeah.
6" of snow after dark at -5*.......hell no.

That's me plowing my drive with a Samurai, soft top & a very poor heater.

Got rid of it and picked up a 89 Ranger ext-cab, then the current F150. That Samurai could plow where the big Truck couldn't, but it was cold.

When I still had a plow we always had a jeep around to get in the tight stuff.
