The one I had waited a while on was the Ls6. It's hanging out on an engine stand now. It's in really good shape, but I've never bought a used motor as clean as this one
He refused even the slightest refund. good to be reminded that assholes are still out there I guess
Dude I'd be throwing him under the bus anywhere I could find a place to. That is the lowest of the low.
He claimed it was a good running 2006. Turned out to be a pre-04 with a piston seized so hard it took a hammer to get it out.
One of my friends bought a car from him last year, seemed like a good guy so I was a little too trusting. Got burned. Drove 9 hours round trip yesterday for this new shortblock, trying to keep my project on the rails at this point haha
Rod bolts installed
Fbody pan on.
Sent my Holley system back today. Trading it out for the LS3 version. Need to pick out a cam as well
Is that the boat anchor sitting against the wall by the picker? Lol. Gotta tell ya I've got whiplash from all the back and forth motors
Are you still going forced induction?

Yeah that's the old 5.3 on the floor. Useless. And yes absolutely.Is that the boat anchor sitting against the wall by the picker? Lol. Gotta tell ya I've got whiplash from all the back and forth motors
Actually found a v-band flange for my S475. Seemed to be on bsckorder til 2025 or something but its awesome compared to taking a grinder to a brand new turbo.
Ordered everything to finish the motor last night. Hi-ram, custom Tick turbo cam (hopefully doesn't sound like a houseboat), head studs and all the little stuff that nickels and dimes you to death with these things.
Hopefully get a chance to assemble next weekend

LOL..... did you see what they do with the card? Baiting the victim to open the bag and dig thru the poop to find who sent it only to find"we'll never tell!" LMAO!
If he was closer, I would suggest dumping it in his front yard. After busting a hole in the side of the block to ensure he can't sell it again.
