This is a 6.0l Iron block out of a 2004 Silverado 2500 HD. Basically what it will be is a 402ci, 6.6l LS2 with better Heads and Intake, and a big *** Cam.

I already have gotten a couple of offers in the $3k area. It's got 4300 miles on it, and just got the Oil changed. My cardomain link has the full specs on it. It beat a freind's 383 Nova the other day, and it was all power that got him. Something is built right in it..

I paid $800 for all of that, no damage at all. It's got 13K miles on it. After taking it apart, one of the Cylinders has a piece of something in the very bottom of it, but it will come out with the honing when I get it done. You can still see the factory cross-hatching from the maching there.
