You can refer to other articles on the site to get information about the engines and more on the heads, casting numbers, dimensions and more. We have to go on here so I will end my tangent. More commonly I have seen shit 6.0s for sale like this and people will buy into a problematic motor instead of just getting a running 5.3 or god forbit the junk 4.8. You're going to spend hundreds tracking down all the little nit pick shit to get that motor running. Stop and think, what the fuck are you doing. They will get what I commonly refer to as 6.0 envy, and instead, buy a 6.0 shorblock or largely incomplete longblock for 600+ instead. Furthermore, people will have the opportunity to buy a complete 4.8/5.3 for 500 dollars, oil pan to throttle, all coils, wires, sensors, etc. the 4.8 sometimes easier to find since who would want a shitty 4.8 right?Īlso people will tell you, only get a late model, or newer gen4 motor, talking about pistons and rods etc etc, Listen, the later year model engines do have "better" or more robust rods, and they have a floating piston, but we have gone extremely fast with the "shitty" gen 3 motors, and you can too. I would say the most common is the "LM7" 5.3l motor in the 99-03 years. Listen, you have a budget, and you don't have a motor, Just get one and put it in the damn car. ALL OF THESE ENGINES ARE EXCELLENT, quit being weird about needing a 6.0 only, or LS1-2-3 only. Engine Codes and names and all that bullshit aside. Or other crazy things, but don't count on it. You can get lucky some days and maybe even find a ls1, ls2, l76, ls3, and some kind of car based alum engine.
TURBO FAST EPISODES LIST SERIES
Cheap, Effective, and manufactured in extreme bulk, 99-13ish (since 14 is now the direct injected LT series engine pouring in.) Vans, Trucks, Chassis, SUV's you name it.

Here is the bread and butter of the LS swap engines. The standard junkyard long blocks, Including! but not limited too! the 4.8/5.3/6.0 in my favorite flavor, Tired Iron. This can be as easy as going strait from the Junkyard into your car, or spend a small fortune on a stock engine, it all depends on the owner and your goals, and how much you want to spend.Īlright, lets begin with, This is going to be budget minded, I will start by explaining what you need, get the car running, and then again more budget minded add ons maximizing power per dollar only, All Killer, no Filler. Since this is the pandora's box of starting mountain sized arguements, Ill start with the minimal, tell you what I know and also give you my opinion on what is a waste of time and money.

So you want a turbo LS series junkyard Mill powering your shitbox into a pavement punishing "tyre fryer", and you're not sure where to start. "Those snails are fast," and "That snail is fast," is heard throughout the series as a bit of a running gag.**Currently typing this up and adding to it ** stay tuned for updates **.
