The original plan for the truck was carb'd LS and T56. I picked up a T56 a while back and its been politely waiting for its day to shine. I considered 5.3s for a brief while, but the power potential for the money just didn't satisfy me. I'd been hunting for an LY6 most of the year. They are usually cheaper than the LQ4/LQ9 mile for mile since they aren't a direct bolt in for the older truck guys (less demand). I'd shopped some salvage yard units but none of them were screaming deals, so I kept waiting. Happened on a local guy selling this Ly6. Picked it up for 1k. Its an 08, miles unknown. Bought it at a city of houston auction. Wasnt sure why it was yanked at the time, but at this price, its worth the risk. The top end was off it when I bought it. Cylinder walls still have cross hatch, and overall the block is very clean. It doesn't have a whole lot of miles.
