I did nothing of the sort but I'd guess that was the killer, this was a 25K mile 5.3 I was gonna save as a back up motor, not happening now. Good news is there are still 7 good rods, lol. Remarkably I can't find a lick of damage anywhere else on the engine, she must of just stopped cold.

I think it has more to do with having had water in it, everything else but the pistons is spotless.

I would just check it all out put new bearings in clean up the other seven replace the rods and slugs on the bad ones and run it

true forgot you had a motor for it all ready
Batman

Unless I need the block to fix the T/A, either way I wouldn't use this one, although I did pilfer all the sensors, the rockers, lifters, coils and some more stuff off this one

hay nick whats a good price on a 6.0 block in iron and aluminum
Batman
02-17-2010, 04:53 AM
$250 for Iron, and about $800+ for aluminum, assuming you can find either
c4boom
02-17-2010, 05:42 AM
whats the weight difference? is it even worth the extra $$$
Batman
02-17-2010, 12:52 PM
almost 200 pounds

in just the block holy shit you better make some big power to make up for that HU. So how did that rod actually get like that
Batman
02-17-2010, 07:53 PM
guessing it was a hydrolock. Yeah the Iron block weighs about 270#, aluminum is around 80#
