Description
The GM L96 Engine is a 6.0-liter V8 from the Generation IV small-block family, designed for strength and long-term durability in demanding applications. With a cast-iron block, aluminum heads, VVT, and sequential fuel injection, it produces 360 hp and 515 Nm of torque. E85 Flex Fuel compatibility adds fuel versatility, while the simple OHV design ensures easy maintenance and dependable operation. Commonly found in Chevrolet Silverado HD, GMC Sierra HD, and Express/Savana models, the L96 offers consistent power, reliability, and efficiency making it a trusted choice for both commercial and recreational use.
L96 fitment requires matching your specific Express or Savana application and model year. The commercial van application has specific oil pan and accessory configurations that differ from the L96 variants used in truck applications. Our VIN verification confirms the exact L96 for your vehicle before it ships.
Express and Savana commercial van operators comparing a used engine, a remanufactured engine, and an OEM engine for the L96 need reliability and minimal downtime above all else. A used GM L96 engine from a verified low-mileage donor gives you the factory iron-block 6.0L Gen IV V8 as an OEM engine — the factory commercial van calibration, the factory iron block durability — at a price that gets the van back to work without rebuild delays. No remanufactured engine from a rebuilt core delivers the factory L96 commercial van assembly that a used OEM L96 provides.
Every used GM L96 engine ships with up to a 90-day warranty and arrives within 2 to 5 business days. Installation is not included. These are genuine GM OEM engines, and we stand behind every unit.
