Just How Durable is the Vortec 8100 496 8.1L Big Block Chevy Engine?

In today's video I'm going to detail a 2004 Yukon XL 2500 equipped with the 8.1L 496 Big Block Chevy. This truck was basically thrown away after a mechanical failure, and was in the process of being Duramax diesel swapped when I found it.

After purchasing, I located a brand new 20 year old 8.1 Vortec 496 Marine crate engine, and over the next few videos will be installing it with as little prep as possible to prove just how durable these Tonawanda built Big Block Chevys engines actually are.
