Re: 6.0 salvage motor project ?s
I just bought a 6.0 and 4L80e for my build. Buy all the things already mentioned plus exhaust stubs with O2 sensors and check everything carefully!
The guys I bought mine from are known locally (Denver area) for assembling swap setups - even so as I was picking thru the engine harness I realized they had cut the trans harness off during removal (they pulled another same year and gave me both). They also remove and toss all kinds of bolts that I now have to go find or buy.
For ex.; the compressor, starter, flex plate, trans dip stick, gas pedal and airbox were all separated, all the fasteners are gone and the drive belt was cut off.
If I had the room and time I think buying the truck makes all kinds of sense as you can keep every little part you might need. Selling the rest is probably a pain but may be worth it in the long run.
