Hi everyone, I'm a new user, here's my story:
I bought a used 03 work truck with an LB7 with 176,000 on it from Penske Leasing in Georgia. It has a special boom lift on the back and was a good deal so it was worth the trip.
I drove it back to NY and used it for 6 months with no engine trouble (just brake booster). I gave it to an employee to use for two weeks and it blew a head. I had the head replaced ($4000) and two days later a bearing went (or so I am being told) The engine is making terrible noises.
I don't want to fix this engine, I just want to swap out the whole thing. I see they are expensive.
I was wondering which other engine models will swap with an LB7 without trouble. Everything is factory stock - no mods
Appreciate any help or suggestions
