I wish I had that tractor. It's the neighbor's, and he said it should be able to lift ~1500lbs. with the forks. I think the fully dressed iron-block LS weighs like 535lbs?... that think your tractors sexy
Lol

I do want a boat. Luckily, though, the machinist said this block was in great shape. He said he's always impressed by how well old LS engines look after being cleaned up.
Also, he said they nailed whatever the LS bearings are made from. Mine had 154k, and he said they looked fine, and still had the factory finish in them. Cam bearings were bad, with #3 being extra chewed up along the edges.
My friend (RIP )..... would think different. ( $60 K per a 1,000 foot run )
Unless you refer to Roadkill
Seems cam bearings going bad are a fairly common issue. Happened to mine too.View attachment 428656Yay.
Machinist said the main and rod bearings were so good he would have felt bad selling me new ones. Middle cam bearings was trashed, so it was good I did more than just a head job.
The heads needed a valve job badly, and he had to spend extra time cleaning the intake ports, so he committed bead blasting the valve covers to stay under his initial quote.
Are you going to ditch the running boards?Installed 5” rear springs today so officially at 4/5 drop now.
