not great, but the amount of metal in the pan i was expecting to see a bearing destroyed or just super thin.

One of the main bearings.

New block just arrived.
If anyone is wondering, the shipping weight was listed at 311 lbs.

Probably won't mess with it until later this week, or this weekend.

It'll lose a little weight when you have it bored to 6.2, 6.3 or whatever.

I was thinking the larger cylinders are nice, but are they really big enough?

I saw what i believe was an LS7 block at the machinist, now those are some girthy cylinders!

Now you have me wondering, I wonder what the weight difference between the 6.0 and the 5.3 are...

Meh too lazy to google it, and i sure as hell am not planning on weighing it.

I don't think they are very much different.

So all the crank and rod bearings looked good? Only cam bearings have wear? It wasn't making any noise? I'm very curious about this metal mystery

I think i need one of those oil analysis things.
I should still have a bit left in the filter...

got the 6.0 on the stand today.
Did a little deburring and removing the sharp edges.
