I purchased a 6.5 w/ 4l80e, 242 tcase, from a company that bought it new and used it in a prototype platform for about 5000 miles. Then pulled the drivetrain and stored it in the loft for about 10 yrs. when I came and took it off their hands.
casting #is 12555506, E057 I'm assuming this is one of those blocks that was prone to cracking. I haven't run it yet but everything looks brand new lightly used. this has a center mount turbo and electronic. It uses a computer from a H-1 and is all wired and ready to basicaly plug and play.
basicaly I'm crossing my fingers and hoping that it isn't cracked yet, assuming it isn't what "if any" steps would one take to keep this thing from going to the scrap heap.
Not trying be a pollyanna but I can say the people I got it from run a high end operation and do alot of military contract stuff. I can say they have been doing alot of hybrid and electric drivetrains in all their stuff for a while now.
