Ok so - I bought a 6.0L most likely an LQ9 from what I can tell. This thing was dirt cheap. And I mean DIRT cheap. I wouldn't have bought it if it wasn't. I can barely turn it over by hand with the plugs in it. The guy said it had 170,000 miles. The plug look like they are right out of the box. He said it was a 1998 5.3. I got it home and saw the 6.0 on the spotless back of the engine. There is no timing cover or valve covers or oil pan or valley cover or intake or sensors. A replacement crate motor was installed and this was left over. The timing chain has just a smidge of slack. It has 317 heads and he gave me the air box and engine covers (VORTEC MAX). The air box says 2006 6.0L. I did not think to check til I got home. SO - what to do with it? Pull the 5.7L? Will all the parts interchange? Is this thing going to nickel and dime me to death?
