Sweet do a good write up. I am thinking about puting a 6.0 in my chevelle. So have you had any big problems yet?

Belive it or not RB found that engine in a Izuzu Box truck of all things. It was wrecked beond repair but the engine was not damaged.
I knew GM was inbed with Izuzu on the Duramax but didn't know they put GM engines in their Box Trucks
Great job RB

If it was in an Isuzu box truck I'm pretty sure that would make it an LQ4, I could be wrong though.

Either engine is awesome just the LQ4 has slightly lower compression.

Tell RB to keep an eye out for another one for me.
