What is 2003 6.0 from a 2500 with a spun main bearing worth? I know a guy that has a 6.0 that spun the #1 main bearing. He already picked up a replacement motor for his truck and is looking to sell the old one to me. It's a complete motor minus starter, waterpump and power steering pump. What is the engine worth? he is asking $250.

May not be worth a dime if the mains in the block can't be lined bored and straightened out. So it is really a gamble till you get it to the machine shop and they tell you it can be fixed where you can run it again. Till then it is really just a good boat anchor

So make a deal with him and tell him to wait on you for the payment till you have it checked out at a machine shop! He has nothin to lose and you get a great deal if its salvageable.

Same internal components really, just a bigger cylinder bore. So they usually need all the same upgrades as a normal ls1. Rod bolts, head bolts, timing chain, then take it out and beat on it.
