Hey guys i pulled out this Lbz 200k miles on it. Tons and tons of coolant in the oil. Never was told was happened when they quit driving it but it turns over freely although the turbo does not. Issues are a broken return line, cracked rear cover near one bolt hole and no accessorys or gpcm. The price is 500$ I figure if nothing is cracked like the block or something I should be able to get more out of it selling everything as core right? What would you guys do? Anybody need any parts off of it?
Should I buy this motor

I paid 750 for one(LB7) that ended up only having 4 injectors in it, smoked turbo, and junk piston. Had to sell most everything that is worth any amount as cores. Got all my money back, plus still have some odds and ends that will be scrapped for $.
Coolant in the oil is most likely from the rear plate being broken (I'm guessing) how long has it been sitting? 500 is pretty cheap.Any injectors in it I'd buy it just for them if there is.
Injector tors should be worth in the neighborhood of 85 each may be more.Id snag it for sure.:thumb:
