Looks like a 98 motor judging by the valvecovers. Just a FYI

wow i didnt even notice that Good Eye. that would be Atleast a set of 98 heads on the motor.

His car is a 98 anyways so it looks correct

WTF- a 98 motor?

Even though it was supposedly pulled from an '01, looks like you might not get that LS6 intake you were hoping for Joe

Screwed again... fkn kids never gonna get this thing fixed...

Casting numbers confermed. Heads read 806...

Lol where do u find these guys... Man you would have saved alot dropping it off and telling don call you when fixed.

Never mind I looked into it. Waiting on this idiot to email me back.

I didn't go with them to look at it before it got dropped off.

And the option to drop it off to Don was never in the books since he didn't have a motor available.

At this point it's more worth the effort of rebuilding this piece of shit since my brother is probably going to flip out and not want to do anything but kill this kid.

Ok so it's a '98 motor and not an '01, does it still run?

Just curious but whats the big deal about this motor being a 98? Just go through it and let it eat. If you want the heads cleaned up at all gimme a call

The only issue i have with it is the kid said it was an 01' motor. with 76k on it. That being said what else did he lie about.

Everything spins as it should and without pulling it apart (which I may do) to check the heads and walls for anything else out of place. I'd hate for it to get swapped out and die withing the year.

I feel horrible that trying to help my brother ends up getting more costly.. lol

as far as it running? Unless this kid just thought he had an 01' it was running a week ago.

OK. Cutting losses and running with what we got, don't care if it's a 98' it's going into a 98'.

Brother needs this thing on the road. Rolling the dice.......

Can't gain anything till you risk a little!

For used motors we do not supply them unless I pull them after checking them. Too much to warrenty if it's not right.

Most motors are ok but this kid sold/pulled it saying it was a 01 motor. Is he really that stupid. If so he shouldn't build anything.

oh yeah he's that dumb. After speaking to him I don't think he understood that he had a 98'. but what's done is done time to move forward.

DAM to bad you didn't ask back in Dec, i just sold the LS1 that came out of my bird. it had a crushed lifter but it was an easy fix.

i did ask...

should have just went to everetts and bought a 6.0!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

could have even heard it run and seen the vehicle it came from!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!

Throw in a new oil pump and or rod bolts and run it. Should be fine if it was running fine.

i wouldnt do the rod bolts without having the size checked, not worth gambling on spinning bearings. my rods closed up 8 thousanths, glad i had them checked and resized cause that would have sucked!

I'll let the mad scientist work his magic stick over it and get it to come back to life.

Honestly just want to see this thing running again and get it out of my driveway and on the road.

I don't like seeing a dead bird in my driveway... lol

could always just scrape it up with a shovel and toss it in the trash.......

lol

be back when it's done!

well its about damn time. and i know you agree with that

Holy Shit Its Alive!!!!!!

must be nice to have it out of the driveway

yes my driveway was empty for about 6hrs. had to park the Mitsu where the bird was until I scrap it.

mother killed it, blown head gasket.
(yes my brother takes after her when it comes to killing cars) ...


and it's not alive until Dr. Don get's dirty.

This is what we found LOL

Please tell me that's the old motor

holy hell!! was that a bearing? or did a piston blow through the block? lmfao

that would be a connecting rod

that's funny. really surprised that last shop never saw that.

thats what ya call a windowed block lol, just a tiny window in that one though.

That's what you call a few bux worth of scrap aluminum LOL

damn!!!!! he beat the bagggg out of that thingg!!!

I've seen alot of this with 98 motors.

yup crappy rod bolts from GM that year as you know.....................hey OP nice carnage!!!!!! this give you a great excuse to make it fast lol

Block would make a great coffee table!

Not my car. If it was much more would get done. My brothers car, needs nothing more than stock power.

That's more than enough t get in trouble.
