One of our trucks at work has a LB7 with a spun bearing. What is it worth? I figured I might want it for a build after I get my twins. :angel:

I will pull the pan prior to forking over the cash if it is a rod bearing and the crank is bad I can always get another crank. If it is a main bearing and the block is trash I don't even want it

I paid 850 and that's with shipping for my core motor and it was missing the computers and turbo wasn't the best motor but I parted everything out of it and made my money back.

Well I have priced used engines locally and they all want a $500 core charge so for $500 I think I will roll the dice and either have a buildable core or I can part it out and get my money back and maybe make a little extra I know the injectors only have 20,000 miles on them
