506 long block for the 96 CCLB.

[Burning oil]

Christmas has just past, so I'll say Father Time brought this to me :rolleyes5:

Anyway just picked it up yesterday. It sure looks pretty on the outside.
The plan is to stud it, gapless rings, gaskets....ect not to much. What else do you guys suggest?
Im going to have alot of the brackets, tins and stuff powdercoated too.
This motor was out of a Hummer so what pre cups should be in it?

The obligatory pics:

As toward suggested mods, howzabout finishing up that Banks exhaust system already . . . oke: :hihi:

Or for pure entertainment, drop it in that Fiero

If you could fab the suspension to handle the weight it would be awesome to see a 6.5 in Fiero. Probably atleast 25mpg and tire frying power! Even funnier a Fiero pulling a travel trailer! :thumbsup:

AS coming from a H1, I believe it has the turbo pre-cups.. though just a bet

Its part of the plan. Instead of swaping manifolds Im going to swap the whole engine :nanawrench:

What ever happened to the 506 from Red?

Awww Pretty. I like it!

 

[Mike K3500]

If it was a Turbo engine, it should have the Diamonds
If it was a N/A engine it should have the Squares

Still have it, its a 599. I'll sell it or use it in something around here.

Cool thanks, I'll take pics after I get the heads ripped off of it.

Looks good. Is it a GEP block? Did you get it from Ted's?

I suggest painting it caterpillar yellow, or powder blue, so you'll be able to diagnose leaks easier.

Keep us abreast of your progress.

The 3rd pic shows the international diamonds, so I think he got a goodun.

Have fun cleaning the paint off the gasket surfaces... :hihi:

I know, I have a great tool for that though (3M scotch lock wheel)

Yup, I vote for caterpillar yellow too

I have always liked Detroit alpine green.

Those 3m wheels rock. They chew through most anything like butter.

I have one from them and the add says there from hummers but Margret couldn't say if it was turboed or not.
I pulled the heads to stud it and use +.10 gaskets. The precups were n/a small square dot cups. I replaced them with after market diamonds. Hope to drop it in this weekend.

I really like the way my last one came out. Will probably do something real simular.

I did get from Teds also. Im betting it has the small cups.
Will the cups from my 96 turbo engine fit in it?

 

[turbovanman]

Is that a van engine? If its out of a Hummer and doesn't have the turbo mount, it will be n/a.

Thats very true. Its from a Hummer so Im sure its NA then. You guys think the 96 cup from the turbo engine will swap in? I saw AK (Les) posted different sizes on the cup recently.
