LB7: Carnage, why do people Lie????

[MAXX IT OUT]

Today I picked up a core LB7 from a guy that had bought it from someone else as a running engine in the truck before being pulled and then sold it , but the second buyer found metal in the intake runners and got the engine replaced from the guy who I bought it from. I had been hoping for a cracked piston and a salvageable block, but I got the head off and found this. It had dropped two valves and bent all the exhaust push rods and eaten all 4 exhaust valve bridges, eaten and entire number 5 piston. I just don't know how someone can say it was running when pulled.

Man that sucks, I hope the seller will make this right.

Well technically the motor still could have been running when pulled. It would have just been making some terrible noises like a midget inside the oil pan smashing shit with a hammer.

More than likely multiple midgets with hammers

Probably was running, people use that word very loosely now a days. My definition of running is, possibly not perfect but easily repairable.

Ive bought 15+ LB7's from Craigslist here in AZ. Everyone one one of them told me "it smoked a little bit" or "ran ok when pulled"

about 80% of them were F'kd. bent rods, holes in pistons, melted piston, broken cranks, spun cam bearings, block headgaskets etc. It's a surprise when I take the heads off that's for sure.

Yep, I will be used it as a jig for mocking up stuff, but i was hoping for a salvageable block, but not with a hole in it. I am hoping the crank will be in good shape atlest, but i will find out tomorrow. Here is a picture of the head.....
