    My personal favorite is the LY6 too. I had a few trucks with the 6.0 and they were great runners. The channel Sloppy Mechanics had a turbo 6.0 with a stock bottom making over 1000 hp for fairly cheap. If you can pick up one of those 6.0’s you can have a lot of fun for not a lot.

    You forgot the L92 (truck 6.2L) and L76/77. The L76/77 are probably the most hard to find, because they only came in the Pontiac G8 GT and Caprice PPV (L77). The L76 is kind of a bastard engine. It has a 4.000" bore for 6.0 displacement, but the cylinder heads are similar to the LS3 and the engine has displacement on demand. The L76 was basically detuned from the factory. For the sake of comparison, this engine is essentially a LS2 short block with a LS3 top end. In 08 they were rated at 361hp, and turned down to 355hp in 09. It's also choked to hell with a small intake and six catalytic converters.

    • @Coverman66

    The LY6 is a Generation IV small block V8 truck engine with a cast iron block. It shares the same bore and stroke as its LQ4predecessor. Like other Gen IV engines, it features variable valve timing. It generated 361 horsepower at 5,600 rpm and 385 lb-ft of torque at 4,400 rpm using "regular" gas, or ~87 octane. Redline is 6,000 rpm and compression ratio is 9.6:1. This engine uses L92 / LS3 style rectangle port cylinder heads, though without the sodium filled exhaust valves of the LS3.
    It came out in 2007-9 HD trucks

      coverman66 I'm taking it apart to check rockers, bearing etc., change all the gaskets and do a valve job. PAC 1216 springs, 230 cam, LS6 intake manifold and swapping it into a Volvo wagon along with manual tranny :) We now have a few guys who can tune them via HP tuners so I will be not a problem.
      Actually I've bought it for $1200 (complete take off with harness, ECU and all the accesories) but LQ4/9 starts here at about $2300 and up so I decided to keep those money for the actual engine build.
      LS1/2 starts at $3300, LS3/L92 - $5000 and up, and LS7 are about $10k - pretty expensive because of our customs. And we had not so many cars which had those engines (LSx), but Tahoe, Express vans, Hummers H2 and some Yukons were sold officially here so LM7 and LQ4/9 are the only way to go if you're on a budget just like I am :)

    That was a fantastic explanation and I REALLY appreciate the comparison and history notes. I'm currently in the process of researching viable possibilities for an upcoming build, so, while the LY6 might not be the best fit for that one, this certainly gave me pause to reconsider it as an interesting possibilty as well as giving me a few other lines of reasearch to follow up on(there are more LSs than I realized). Anyway, you've definately earned my subscribe and I look forward to watching more!

I've built a few gen 1s and 2s but this will be my first LS build. I've narrowed it down to either a LQ4, LQ9 or now after watching your videos maybe even a LY6. I'll just have to educate myself more on The LY6's VVT. So my question is what is the most milage you would consider when shopping for a used LS 6.0 liter engine that hopefully doesnt need a trip to the machine shop. Thanks

    • @Coverman66
      @Coverman66  7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      thats a great question.. it varies.. if you can see the engine in the car would be great.. most of the time the engine is out and you cant really tell the condition of the engine until you take it apart or at least the oil pan.. truth of the matter, its a crap shoot.. buy and pray.. most of the times these engines are bullet proof. ive seen people put engine in with over 300000 miles and turbo them without issues.. hopes this answers your question..

    • @donaldcarolus3594
      @donaldcarolus3594 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Traderz if the engine isn't in the car, always assume there is a reason they didn't leave it for you to hear or see it run. AGearHead4Life here on TH-cam has some really excellent videos on building and executing a run stand before you go through all the work to drop an engine in without scratching your baby, just to find out the engine s junk. best of luck.

    • @donaldcarolus3594
      @donaldcarolus3594 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      also, I see more need for rings and bearings than machine work as in recent years more and more manufacturers are going to low tension rings and tighter tolerances, meaning the engine s more like a two stroke dirt bike.....just rering it regularly (when it starts burning oil)

    • @Coverman66
      @Coverman66  7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      whats good Traderz.. whenever you build a used engine and dont know the history you are always taking a chance.. ive seen engine with 300k and fresh as day one. then i seen engine with 15k and needing a total rebuild. unless you see the mileage on the vehicle the engine is coming out of. your at the sellers mercy.. you just cant tell the milage by looking at the block.. thats the sad reality brotha.. be careful on your hunt..

  • @UGGdyno
    @UGGdyno 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    L76 is a good option as well. 6.0, but with the square port LS3 style heads. The square port heads make it relatively easy to do an inexpensive (relatively speaking) LSA supercharger. They are on the cheaper side for an aluminum block, $2500 or so for complete engines with harness, computer, and accessories.

      on the front of the engine it will be labeled LY6, on the back you will find casting number that when you look them up will tell you its a ly6.. the quickest way is to look and if its a cast 6.0 with 823 heads its a safe bet that its an LY6. then cam in chevy/gmc trucks and vans..

    The LQ4 and 9 are basically the same engine. Just slightly less compression and a few less ponies. But don't go past them if you are looking for the iron block / l92 head combination. Don't forget to swap out the needle roller rocker trunnions for the comp cams, smith brothers or Brian Tooley's bronze bushing rocker trunnion set if you're looking to make serious HP out of yours, the last thing you want is a stock roller bearing exploding and depositing over 20 tiny roller needles throughout your engine and doing worse damage by blocking off oil flow. I'll also be upgrading to the LS3 2.20 and 1.65 valve set, get an original good quality chevy set on Ebay for under $200, dont pay $400 for manleys or whatever. I'm looking to make around ~1200 Hp from my LY with twin turbskies, and I'm ordering a built 4L80 that will handle the power , manualised with a reversed valve pattern and A Kilduff engineering Lenco-style multi lever shifter that will work like a lenc.

Its a daily driver and the goal is 5-600hp (easy for these motors right?) So i could easily go either way. I want something stout as hell (the 5.3 then right?). Everyone turbos the 5.3 (im going to boost it for sure) so i kinda wanted something different maybe do the 6.0 straight motor and carbed. Nothing like the sound of a carbed v8.

    Terry, my ears piqued at the 7 minute mark when you mentioned 408CID. I have a '05 GTO with TexasSpeed headers & cam (224R). my question, is sleeve work required? how high can I go without replacing the sleeves? is 408CID as high as you can go after replacing the sleeves? thanks!

      i would if i stepped up to a 408.. that pretty much the limit on a 6.0. some say it would be too much.. but everyone has an opinion lol thanks for viewing ..

    Can I make a LS7 from a 6.0 by Boring it out and heads and LS7 intake (and other engine guts)

    • @Coverman66
      @Coverman66  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      hmmmm.. i would talk to the machine shop, but i would go over a 408 and thats pretty close to the limit.

    Definitely looking at thr LY6 with a cam and truck style intake for my Silverado. The new Ecotec V8s have constant lifter issues which I'm very likely going through but the dealer keeps telling me it's the direct injection that's causing thr ticking sound. Anyways my ride is a 2015 Silverado 1500 2wd double cab with the 5.3L, 3.42 gears, intake and muffler delete and a 3inch lift with 33.5inch tires on 20s. Going from a aluminum 5.3 making 350hp to a aluminum 6.0 and another 100+hp to the wheels would be great. Will definitely upgrade to 3.73 gears and possibly a upgrade the stall converter

      Thank you. Just looked up the ly6 and realized it's an iron block. But the L76 isn't. I know they're not common but will start my search this weekend. What LS parts can swap compatible with it. I would like to use a FAST Lsx Intake manifold. I know they're pricey but I think it'll pay off with a big GM cam , 90+mm throttlebody and tune

      most LS parts are interchangeable....

      as long as the head/intake ports match you should be good..

    This is by far my go to video when I was on the hunt for a ls motor for my 83 Malibu wagon. I just purchased a ly6/4l80 combo and can not wait to get started on my build! Thank you for the inspiration and insight for my swap! Please if you could send me some links of your build with this motor so I can have a reference to get started. BTW I mentioned on one of your pics on fb I think that you looked like a young Muhammad Ali lol.
