I need LSx schooling

[Blue88Coupe]

I've been thinking about picking up an LS motor. I went down to the junk yard and asked if they had any 5.3's or 6.0's and what was the price. They told me they had a 5.3 take out for 250. How do I know what it is?

Whats the difference in the iron vs aluminum blocks, iron vs aluminum heads?

How do I tell if its an LS1,2,3,6 etc., L92 vs what ever else? 5.3 vs 6.0?

Is there a site with all the different kind of identifiers for these motors?

WHat about stuff to look for that could be bad or things to avoid when getting one of these?

I dont think it will go in the mustang. I might get it for a future project. Yeah I got the garage all setup, been doing quite a bit of work in there.

I havent had the grass cut since you came by. Its not too bad, I might let it ride out the winter and get it cut when it starts growing in the spring?

Yeah. If you think about it. Try & pick up a bag of fertlizer & spread it in the front yard. It will make the grass come in better this next season. I know you got plenty of grass in the back.

Yeah you should do a 5.3 in that stang. The 5.3 are cheap as hell & you can get a Trans & motor for $1500 easy.
