So I acquired this 8.1 through a trade for some other parts that I had. I dont really know a whole lot on the history of the engine but I do know it has 85,000 miles on it and its out of an avalanche 2500. The engine was just pulled out of the truck because the owner is doing a Cummins swap.

I have changed my price since I am selling this as a core now. Asking $750 plus shipping. I am willing to drive some distance too if necessary. I would like to sell this ASAP. Please PM me with any questions.

Just put the engine on an engine stand and noticed all the intake manifold bolts are loose. Now considering selling the engine as a core. Make an offer if interested.

Here are some pics. Complete from pan to intake with accessories and coils.

I can't answer that 100%...however I can tell you what I do know.

The outter dimensions of the engine are basically the same as a regular big block chevy. The entire engine is very very similar to an old school big block, but it does have some differences such as additional head bolts and integrated sensors and metric fasteners. They're still used in marine applications. I'm sure I'm forgetting some info too. Also there is really no aftermarket intake manifold available for the 8100.

With that being said I would have to guess the swap into an F-body would be very similar to other big block swaps and you would likely be limited to the factory intake manifold unless you had a custom one made.

I've decided to sell the engine as a core since I have no desire at the moment to open the engine up. I will sell it as is for $750 plus shipping.
