Default Buying 6.0 with a spun main bearing-pics included
I have the opportunity to buy a 6.0 with a spun main for $350. I plan on rebuilding this engine and stroking it to 408. With the spun main, Is there any block damage that can be associated with this? I just want to know If a engine with a spun main could be rebuilt..
The guy also say the heads have a few exhaust bolts thats need to be removed. Is this to much work? I was just trying to avoid paying $1100 for a new 6.0 block

if it's just a spun bearing i doubt there is block damage, broken manifold bolts are not an issue. machine shop can do it or weld a nut on them and remove them.

Agreed. That should clean up fine. Even if they hone it, which they should, there are plenty of bearing options out there.
