Look what I found for the low

Look what I found for 700 bucks
2003 Chevy Express 3500 12 passenger van with a 6.0L / 4L60e (I think) drives really strong with a half million miles (455000) every thing I need for a rebuild swap but not sure if I want to scrap it for my swap because it drives pretty decent. It was posted on Craigslist 3 hours before I bought it. LOL. what a blessing

Re: Look what I found for the low

if thats a 3500, I believe it should have the 80e. If its an HD, then I'm very confident.

I can't do the "White van" thing....you get pulled over every time someone can't find there kids for 20 minutes. Seriously, a friend had a white van for his band and got the "you matched the vehicle description" thing at least 3 times.

Re: Look what I found for the low

Ya, scrapping what you don't need will almost get the $700 back.

Re: Look what I found for the low

I see you're in Fort Wayne also. That motor would be great for you're 72 GMC. I have 1 in my 72 GMC.

Re: Look what I found for the low

Yeah I'm in the Fort and my 72 was a parts truck which was shared with a few of my friends and to help restore my 69 GMC a 5.7L is going in my GMC and the 6.0L will go into my 71 Camaro

Re: Look what I found for the low

My friends say just sell it take the money and build you a 6.0L how you want it, I'm thinking I could double my money and it will still be a good deal for who ever buys it I'm thinking even if I sold it for 1500 to some one who wants the motor they would still come out decent when it's time to scrap it and have all the parts for their swap

Re: Look what I found for the low

I don't know if it's the original motor or if it's been redone or not, it's got good oil pressure but the radiator leaks a little
