6.0 shortblock
 
lq4 or lq9 doesnt matter

BAD BOB 09-08-2010 07:19 PM

how much you looking to spend?

98nbmz 09-08-2010 07:29 PM

4-5 on shortblock

98nbmz 09-08-2010 08:23 PM

no 4-600 for a stock 6.0 shortblock! Thats usually what they go for or around that!

minytrker 09-08-2010 08:26 PM

Good luck for that cheap. I have seen many for $400-600. Most I see are closer to $1,000 but I also look for low mile motors. You can get a 5.3 for that price.

4-6 hundred for a block. when you say shortblock i thought you wanted a complete shortblock. srry

BAD BOB 09-08-2010 08:35 PM

i got a 5.3 i would part with

98nbmz 09-08-2010 08:42 PM

Only looking to do 6.0.. and lq based motors go for pretty cheap! guy on yb has a 5.3 and 6.0 for 600 for the pair but he is in upstate new york and shipping is pricey! Another on ls1 tech in tenn for 450.. Just really have to look around zac says he has a buddy with a full long block for 800 or 900, if i have to go that way i will. just seeing if anybody had one lying around!

craigslist is the place to look, or just know people at dealerships, everyone on ls1tech thinks their used junk is worth the price of gold, that website has gone to hell over the past year

BigdaddyDupree 09-08-2010 10:01 PM

i bought a lq4 longblock for 400 the other day

bwelch 09-09-2010 12:34 AM

I paid $250 for a lq4 longblock with a spun bearing on craigslist.

jmd 09-09-2010 05:13 AM

i am weary to buy items off craigslist without seeing it. no telling what you will end up with. i will still keep an eye on it.

98nbmz 09-16-2010 09:16 AM

Paid 600 for longblock for 00 6.0 130k, with ecu! But Wont work with my tranny

:barf:

BigdaddyDupree 09-16-2010 09:34 AM

has the long crankshaft, mmm that suck put a turbo 350 in it.

98nbmz 09-16-2010 09:35 AM

Yup! id like to keep a 6spd for dd purposes, but who knows if i can find a deal on th400

BigdaddyDupree 09-16-2010 09:36 AM

if you wanna get rid of the t56 i may be interested. MIGHT

98nbmz 09-16-2010 09:42 AM

Has tex clutch, tic master, pro 5.0, billet flywheel

Matts94Z28 09-16-2010 09:43 AM

You don't want a three speed for a DD...

BigdaddyDupree 09-16-2010 10:01 AM

he drives a fullsize on 40's now. anything would be better

Matts94Z28 09-16-2010 10:05 AM

Exactly, but that doesn't change the fact that a th-400 is not ideal for a daily driven car. Why take a step backwards from a t-56 and 25+ mpg?

98nbmz 09-16-2010 10:06 AM

Im gonna keep the t56 trying to get robert to swap motors because he has an aluminum headed one, which he is running a turbo 350 so mine would workout good with his

BigdaddyDupree 09-16-2010 10:07 AM

he has a motor that will work with a th400 or 350. im not putting a gun to his head and telling him to do that. but if he wants to use that motor thats what hes gonna have to do. or buy another motor.

Matts94Z28 09-16-2010 10:08 AM

Put a SBC in it. lol

but he has a converter made for a LS motor to a turbo 350. so he would have to get a new converter

98nbmz 09-16-2010 10:09 AM

His motor will work with the turbo 350/400 with a spacer, same motor as mine with a thinner flange, my crank has thicker flange allowing it to bolt up to it no diff, he isnt using those heads anyways, its just the shortblock that robert has
