Can't find a donar

[BamaDave]

Does anyone here live in north Alabama or southern TN that can put me on a pick-n-pull that will have a later model 6.0L LS truck for a donar? Every place I call they tell me the same thing, "we don't get those very often, when we do, they are gone in a flash." I swear these places around here must have a deal with someone that they tell to come and get'em. I've called pretty steady to five yards for over a month with no luck!

I used to see those LQ9 iron blocks pop up on the C5 section of the Corvette forum:

My C5 was armed with one. It was stroked to 422ci. My Yukon has one but I'm using right now.

A couple years ago 6.0's grew on trees but they've gotten pretty rare around here too. Not sure if it's an age thing, most yards crush things more than about 5 years old here. Or it may be a hotrod thing, people started buying them up for projects. Used to be a healthy supply of 4.8's too, but that I'm pretty sure dried up due to age more than demand. 5.3's have always been scarce.

Yeah everyone has gone nuts over the 6.0 lately.The 5.3 and 4.8 can be easier to get and make enough power stock and have a big aftermarket if you want more power.
