LBZ Engine Stripped

[j.stanton2009]

I'm looking at buying an LBZ engine that has everything stripped off except for the heads, internals and oil pan; comes with some of the accessories thrown in the box- no injectors, no turbo: they are asking $600 for it, but it has a "dropped" valve.

Would this be an ok engine to start with for a mild budget build ?
LB7 Pistons (cut & coated), rods (undecided), clevite h bearings, SoCal springs, ect...

Should be if bore isn't jacked up really bad, heads r nearly worth that, PM me, if u r close I may be interested in it if you aren't.

Will do !

I've been looking for an engine to tear into!

And the price is right on that one!

One if the heads will have to be replaced and one cylinder will need to have a new sleeve installed.

Duramax s don't have sleeves. Better make sure it can be bored

Hmmm... I feel retarded now :/

The owner is sending me pics via email, it's gonna come with a whole host of parts. I'll have him send me a pic if the cylinder.

He "had a quit to replace the sleeve for $65"...

I though it sounded weird but really didn't look into it

Yeah, that's where I found it. He claims that it only has 700 miles. But w/e if the block isn't salvageable, I'll turn it into a table and sell it

Duramax's don't come with sleeves but you can master sleeve nearly any engine. over bore it, pess a sleeve in, then bore it to stock, or whatever size you want.

Good to know; I'm waiting on more pics. Supposedly the motor has 700 miles on it and it came out if a military humvee; and it is for sure an LBZ.

I work with HMMWV's everyday and not one has a Duramax in it... The navy runs a CUCV and they are just regular Chevrolet with a dual alternator and the option to switch from 12v to 24v. That is the only military vehicle that comes with a Duramax though.
I wish HMMWV's had the Duramax though... would be alot cheaper to get parts :roflmao:

If that came out of a HMMWV you would be looking at a 6.5 block

x2. Here's the ad: http://tulsa.craigslist.org/pts/4080915165.html I see LB7 bridge, injector harnesses and uppipes too.

I'd be leery to buy that engine.

Dropped a valve after only 700 miles? Doesn't sound right. It would have still been under factory warranty at that time. That would be the least mileage anyone ever got out of a Duramax. I smell BS.

Walk away!

That picture is of a LB7. If you PM me I can show you what one of the engines I had that dropped a valve.

I ended up passing on it, the owner wasn't in a big hurry to sell it, and I got sick of waiting on him. I didn't see the pics of the parts initially; I wasn't going to go buy it until I saw the rest of the parts.
