05 Tahoe engine swap options

[bottomline2000]

dam,wanna sell it ??Lol ..whered you find one that cheap??

He's kinda using it when it's not on the back of a tow truck..I kid, I kid..Tony is a good guy. The engine you found sounds like the way to go. Decent miles with a warranty and newer block. I'd take that over something half the price with probably triple the miles and no guarantee.

If u can inspect it pull the valve covers and make sure it's clean. If you have a cheap scope camera you can pull a spark plug and look at the top of the piston. If the pitoms are flat u may get lucky and nab an lq9. The front of the block on the drivers side should say 6.0. The heads should be stamped something like 317..if it says 706 consider swapping them or questioning the engines history. They may be castech heads which are known to fail.

cool,yall answered my question,now i know what to shop for..I actually found a 05 lq4 with 70k,theyre asking 1900 and has warranty..The engine thta scurrently in the truck is running great.Awhile back a lifter started bleeding off and knocking at hiway speeds,I ran some marvel mystery oil for 100 miles and it cleaned up whatever trash was in the lifter.Truck and engine has 180k .Im keeping the truck as i HATE car payments,id rather just custmize it and drive it,plus its a ex highway patrol truck.I absolutley love it..Kinda shooting for a stout,lowered ppv tahoe..thanks guys

That's kinda high, I'd check car-part

Your projects look accomplished, are you swapping out for fun or did the motor quit?

thanks.

it still runs great at 180k miles,lifters started tapping last oil change but i put in some marvel mystery oil and it stopped.I take it as a warning,do a 6.0 swap soon!
