Man I have been looking at Tahoe's like crazy and just dug into my down payment cash.. Ooops

This thing has about 160,XXX miles and despite the little body work it needs and the fact that I am going to replace the bottom block it was a steel!

What I am guessing is that the water pump went bad and it blew out and cracked the block...

Here's some photos..

Here is where it blew out and cracked the block in 2 places.. The thing that boggles my mind is that it still runs... Now I am not about to drive it down the street... I just hope that the heads arent warped... There is no indication that they are at this point... I am probably going to look for a deal on a complete motor just to play it safe!

So whatcha gonna do with it? :confused:

I really dont know yet..

My first initial thought was to keep it as is and go forward with the SAS in the black truck and lift it to the hilt..

Cause the black truck already has the rear for it and once is is completed the only thing it will need is a tranny I am sure...

WOW. That's not bad at all. You could easily make that into one nice rig.

Good find Brian.
