Used 6.0 Vortec Engine for Sale

The 6.0 V8 is a GM engine known as a Vortec base. It was for sale mostly in bigger vehicles starting in 2005. Most models were marketed with flex fuel technology. The focus has since shifted away from the Generation Four applications to a different platform in the U.S. market. You can still find a used 6.0 Vortec engine for sale by reviewing the inventory on this website.

Specs for the 6.0 Liter

General Motors is constantly upgrading the way that blocks are constructed. The element of surprise sometimes catches consumers off their guard. Even though some cast iron is utilized to construct parts, a different polymer of aluminum now serves as the base for the Vortec 6000 platform and beyond.

There are multiple RPO codes to identify which version of the 8 cylinder someone wants to purchase. The base level was coined with an LS2 part number. As technology was improved upon, several other editions were manufactured. The L76 as well as the L96 were introduced before the termination of the Vortec series in 2016.

There are 364 cubic inches found in the Gen 4 blocks. Things like sensors and revised air flow systems have contributed to the sales growth at GM.
