LS1-LS6 Swap Hi Guys-a buddy of mine recommended this sight as the BEST place to get help for my modern muscle!
I had catastrophic engine failure with my 29,000 mile LS1; # 6 exploded and broke the rod in half as well as punched 2 holes in the block. Or maybe the rod broke in half first and then everything else exploded???? Boat anchor anyone?
I was finally able to purchase a NEW LS6 for $3,200.00 and then I installed it recently. (Let me know if anyone is interested and I'll hook you up with contact info, they probably have 50+ left, no joke they bought out all that GM had.) I fired it up finally the other day and it had a dead miss in #6. I rented a code reader, cleared out the codes and it still had a miss. I hooked up the code reader again and it said error P0300-miss in the ignition.
All brand new plugs, brand new wires and I replaced the coil pak in #6. Fired it up and it went about half a block before the miss came back????
Now I'm stumped! Should I go to the dealer & get them to maybe clear out some codes that the aftermarket can't clear out? I know what I'd do in a First Gen Camaro-but the computer part is a little out of my area of expertise-(OK a lot!) but I learned A TON installing the LS6!!!!
Please help! Dave

I thought about trying a different plug wire but haven't done that yet....Naturally #6 is a pain in the rear to get to-but not NEARLY as bad as #8!
Yes I did reuse the injectors. The car has 29,4?? on it; do you really think the injectors are toast? I guess they could be but that doesn't seem right???? I'm asking-I'm not familiar with fuel injection and all of its quirks. Yes I own other injected engines, but I think I'm ready to finally move into 2010 and start cutting my teeth on an LS6!
Thanks please keep the ideas coming! Dave
