Re: 1986 suburban build with 6.0l swap

I was thinking about it today. when i took the intake mani off the 6.0, there was quite a bit of rust on all the valves. also the front accessory's were cracked and bent, this motor was in a wrecked truck. I asked around about the rust and the answer I got from every one, was that it would be fine. (not blaming those people) I bet that when the wreck happened, the radiator popped and filled the intake with coolant. if there was a hard enough impact to break the accessory's, there would be enough impact to knock the intake pipe off and fill it with water. or the truck was on fire and a fire hose was used. IDK but there was tones of rust, it was flaking off. that would explain the bent rod.
