going in the morning to look at a 6.0. guy said it was out of a escalade and it has around 80-90k miles. im going carb so i dont really care about the intake and stuff. he said it was complete. anything else i should look out for? i dont know if its pulled or not.

What year? 99 & 00 6.0s had a longer crank that limits your trans choice.
If it's from an escalade, it's probably an LQ9, good choice.

It's going in a boat that uses no trans. But I wanna say he said 04

Since it's carbed and going in a boat, you wont need much more than the coil packs and their wiring. Keep the MAP, crank, and cam sensors too.
What oil pan will you be using?

sandeggo

Don't know what oil pan yet, gonna see if the stocker will fit. There's probably no way in hell it will though

Escalades didnt get the 6.0 until 01 and they didnt get the LQ4, just the LQ9. The LQ4s had the iron heads in 99 and 00, LQ9s werent even made then.

Just got off the phone with the guy and it's still in the truck and comes with a 60 day guarantee

I was going to do an LS jetboat, but a 72 442 took priority.
I sold my LS log manifolds but still have a GTO oil pan and pedistal mounts. If you're interested in buying, let me know.
Good to know it's still in the vehicle. You can confirm it's an LQ9 from an escalade. When I was looking for one to go in my 68 corvette, I ran across a couple representing LQ4s as LQ9s and charging a premium price.

I plan on modifying the schoenfeld sprint/dyno headers to work on the boat. I might need that oil pan though, thanks

Just bought a 5.3. Took calling the gm dealership and giving them the last 8 of the vin to ID it. 2007 motor, looked in the cyl with a borescope and it's clean!
