Quad Bypass Surgery Version 6.0

[geareater]

So I purchased a 2004 LQ4 6.0 out of a water damage 2500 HD. Only had 60,000 miles on it, and wasn't turned, but you will see its not a pretty sight. I had planned on doing top end work anyway: cam, lifters, rockers, port and polish heads, and longtubes. Now its gonna need new pistons, and bottom end work. I dont care to get a new crank or rods, I wont be putting forced induction on it any time soon, but it will need machine work and new bearings. Came with entire harness and fuse box, but no computer.

Thanks, and all advice and constructive criticism is appreciated. If its just down talking bs on how I bought a damaged motor, keep it to yourself please.

The outside looked ok till the inside pics!!! Looks like it drank some water before its death. Good luck on the build!!!
