Fresh 6.0 Aluminum and a Fresh 5.3 Arrived

March 16, 2016 1950 Chevy Truck, 1957 GMC Project LS-Z57, Banner, LS Stuff

I have been on the hunt for two LS motors for my two truck projects. A friend swapped out his freshly built 5.3 for a 6.0 so when he offered the 5.3 for sale I bought it. This motor will be installed in the 1950 Five Window Chevy truck.

Another friend had a fresh LS2 6.0 aluminum and he was upgrading to a LS7 so when his motor became available I bought it to go in my 1957 GMC project.
