Question 6.0 vt engine

im just asking, but if your 6.0 engine were to blow up or something how much would it probably cost around, and where can you buy it, or where can you get it rebuilt?

Re: 6.0 vt engine

i'd say around the 50k mark....

i thought the engine had a 100,000k warrenty though.

That'll take years to get to.

Re: 6.0 vt engine

It depends on what blows up.If you've got to replace the block, it will probably cost more then just refinishing a chamber and getting a new piston.

yea, there are a couple of parts from a '92 Diablo's engine that got into a fire. I think Wreckedexotics.com has some of pics of that Diablo. The rear is completly gone, all you could see was the frame. what a shame. But for a new 6.0 VT engine I'd itd be around 100 b/c the car was around $274,000
