I have a guy interested in my truck. He's also asking about specific internal engine stuff which I dont know. Here is his question:

"Can you tell me what went in the original engine. Rod, piston etc. Think they sleeve those too"

Can someone provide this info?
 
I'm pretty sure it's got rods and pistons.:D

See if this answers any questions.

It's not exactly our engine but should be close. This info is on the 8.0.
(stating the obvious) Ours is the 8.3 and rated at 500 hp.

Thanks Silver, I forwarded him the link. If that doesnt do it for him I'll ask DC Performance.
 
I think he's looking for what comes stock. Whether its manufacturer, specs, etc I dont know. He may be looking for what exactly composes the motor, sleeves or no sleeves. That seems to be whats preventing the original motor from being completely rebuilt. The damage to the sleeves seems to be preventing a possible rebuild. I think he would eventually like to put the original motor back in the truck if the sleeves can be fixed. From what I understand they can not but I havent really looked hard for an answer.
 
These engines use cast iron liners. I don't know why they couldn't be replaced. Hell, you can sleeve cast iron blocks, why not these?
