I came across this ad in Jeggs for a rebuilt Chevy 6.0 V-8 engine from ATK. Anyone ever get an engine from ATK? I don’t need one yet but was looking at options down the road.

A very long time ago we used to use a fair number of them at a shop i worked at. Rarely an issue.
Also a very long time ago, we put a 5.0 Ford in my roommates truck from ATK. The rear main leaked and they took care of it.

Same as nutech autozone and powertorque oreillyauto
ATK partnered with rebuilder in Mexico, is enough for me not to buy it. My rebuilt in Mexico calipers had broken/sheared pins in the bore. Quality is for you to gamble on.
My recommendation is to overpay for an OE crate engine, or find a quality local rebuilder/machine shop.

How much is an engine directly from GM?
Also a long time ago we installed a ATK in a Honda. It blew up after about 5 min. The replacement was fine.
This installation would be a 2008 LY6 Gen IV with VVT. So far the GM catalogue covers the 6.0 to 2007.
When I lived in Tampa, FL., before Advance Auto Parts came along, Rose Auto Parts, then Discount Auto Parts, were the local parts stores. AAP bought them out. All 3 chains carried ATK engines. I never used them but know of people that did, with great results. No problems that I had ever heard of.
Well stated. That cylinder deactivation is garbage!
Thanks for the post and good point with some of the 5.3s. The 6.0 did not have it.
