QUESTION--Got a lead on a complete 6.0 with less then 70,000 miles on it. I think it's from a truck or van. Guy wants $1000. Only thing is it's from an 01. Motor I was thinking of getting is from an 03 with supposedly 91,000 from a junkyard. Leaning towards the 01 because it's a friend of a friend, and he's a stand up guy. The junkyard SAYS it has 91,000 with no proof--and it's a junkyard. Any pitfalls to getting the older motor? Less power and tq then the 03 motor? I'd be using my top end anyway tho--and hopefully my old cam--if it's still good. Thoughts?

the junk yard engine should have a warranty with it. if this is a pulled engine they usually write the mileage on the engine or tag it before pulling it out with the miles and year it came from. they make damn sure its a solid running engine before pulling it out. (cause the warranty) most come from a crashed or rolled over car/truck.

im sure the friend of a friend is not offering any warrantys.
