Default Junkyard 6.0L iron block?
Is it feasible to think that I could find a 6.0L iron block at a junkyard so that I could start a motor build in my garage?
If so, what years of what vehicles should I be searching for?

I would look for an 02+ LQ9 motor. These come from any of the Denali vehicles and the cadillac escalade.

If you are rebuilding it a LQ4 would work too out of a 2500.

Thats what I picked up. I got mine for 200. All the truck blocks are iron, It was just in 2002 and up the heads were aluminum the lq9 heads. The blocks are the same.

The LQ4 from 2001 truck is a great platform. These were found in 1500HD, 2500 trucks. The LQ9 was found in Escallades and Denali XLs. My 2002 1500HD has the LQ4 with 317 aluminum heads factory.

Was 200 just for the block or the whole motor?
