Building a 408 Stroker from a junkyard engine!

My buddies 1992 K3500 was swapped with a hopped up junkyard LQ4 about a year ago. That was understandably short sighted decision. The rings left the chat and the computer refused to speak clearly to the trans. Pulling both in this weeks video as we discuss what went wrong

How much did the machine shop cost? I have an old LQ4 6.0 laying around that could be a good 408 stroker

[@MerricksGarage]

Not sure, around $1000 I yhink

Complete tear down cleanse , inspect and replace only worn components engine will run good for many years. I worked around the corner from you at MaterCraft for a few years

[@MerricksGarage]

Yup! That’s the plan

[@theshark2804]

If only I could find a super cheap 6.0 block.

[@MerricksGarage]

[@theshark2804]

@@MerricksGarage nope. They pick them off before they hit the yards. It’s getting really sad here in nor cal.

Who called it a squarebody?

[@davidbrunner4413]

Time stamp 0:28 "welcome another member to the squarebody collective".

[@MerricksGarage]

Geez the collective extends beyond a specific era. It’s more of a corporate enterprise.

[@chrisbrand350]
