Choices built LS1 or 6.0 junkard and built that?
Well , after I melted #7 piston on my 5.3 turbo, I decided to sell the whole set before my deployment. Now I faced with a choice " built" ls1 or get a 6.0 and build it myself. I can most like get this ls1 for 2500. What would you guys do? Here are the specs on the build.
2001 Built ls1 for sale. Engine is still sitting on stand. Rods have been weighed and balanced. minus water pump. Was going to put in a Silverado, but could go in anything.2001 Aluminum block ls105 5.3 crankLs2 RodsKieth Black Pistons (Brand New)Edelbrock 2-piece timing chain coverAluminum polished valve covers1 x LS Series Lunati Voodoo Camshaft (227/232 113LSA) - 5.7L-6.0L $410.991 x 99-02 LS1 SDPC 5.3 Stage II Heads $1,195.001 x 2002 LS1 GM MLS Head Gaskets $37.991 x Manley LS Series Chromemoly Pushrods 7.400" Stock LS *SALE* 1 x GM Performance LS7 Lifters $129.998 x GM Performance LS2 Lifter Guide Trays $63.921 x LS Series Melling Oil Pump $105.991 x ARP LS1 12 pt Head Stud Kit $282.951 x LS1 Federal Mogul Sealed Power Piston Rings $125.99Engine does not come with accessories or intake manifold.

build a 6l and dont look back.if you decide to go turbo or heavy nitrous..the 5.3/6.0 is the block of choice aside from getting an lsx block.the extra 80lbs of weight means nothing for strength/reliability with high hp compared to the ls1 block
