Considering LS6 longblock for a project. Was a 2001 Oilburner 1qt per 1kmiles 20k miles reported on motor.
Motor comes with heads, waterpump, front and rear covers, flywheel and C5Z06 clutch.
I'm planning to swap this into a 1992 C4 Corvette along with a T56 trans I just bought
. Yes it will be a PIA and alot of work, but should be a nice sleeper .
Anywho, I've done my own work with heads/cams, bolt on's etc...
Wanting some advice on what the peanut gallery would do with the LS6 block. I figured I'd re-ring it, inspect it all, throw a new set of bearings in it and be good. I don't want to spend thousands on new internals, the stock bits should be good enough, provided there is no damage, which I doubt given sellers description and reputation.
Do you think this would be sufficient to bring that rotating assembly up to snuff?
Anything else to consider?
Plans for motor include
Lloyd Elliot LE3 LS1 heads
LE3 cam
Fast 90 intake with Nate williams 90mm TB
#30FMS injectors
1 3/4 long tube headers
off road x pipe
Flowmaster exhaust(it's on car, I woulda went magnaflow personally, but probably won't replace it)
thanks!!!!
