The DFC Diesel KORE Series Long Block was built specifically to bridge that gap, giving Super Duty and Excursion owners a quality remanufactured engine at a more accessible price point. DFC keeps costs down by leaving out components that are commonly reused or easily sourced separately, without cutting any corners on the actual remanufacturing process itself. Every long block is machined using Rottler equipment, some of the most advanced machining technology in North America, resulting in tolerances that exceed original OEM specifications. Inside, you're getting all new bearings, pistons, rings, gaskets, seals, valves, valve springs, hardened seats, stem seals, and cast guides, along with head studs, upgraded connecting rod bolts, and Total Seal gapless piston rings. DFC also builds in improved gasket sealing methods specifically targeting the common leak points this platform is known for. Whether you're keeping a work truck running or restoring a reliable daily driver, this long block gives you real remanufactured quality without paying for a full engine package. It's a smart, budget-conscious way to get real miles back out of a 6.0L that still has life left in it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003ePrecision Machining With Purposeful Upgrades To Known Weak Points\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DFC Diesel KORE600506STAU18LB is a remanufactured long block engineered specifically for 2005-2006 Ford F250, F350, F450, and F550 Super Duty trucks and the 2005 Ford Excursion, all equipped with the 6.0L Powerstroke engine featuring 18mm cylinder head dowel pins, and compatible with both automatic and manual transmission applications. Every long block is machined using Rottler equipment, delivering tolerances that exceed OEM specifications throughout the build. The engine includes all new bearings, pistons, rings, gaskets, seals, valves, valve springs, hardened seats, stem seals, and cast guides, along with head studs and upgraded connecting rod bolts built to address common failure points on this platform. It comes standard with Total Seal gapless piston rings and incorporates improved gasket sealing methods in the areas most prone to leakage. The long block ships as a complete short block assembly with the cylinder heads included, along with a complete top end gasket kit and silicone to finish the installation. It's worth noting this long block does not include the front cover, rear cover, oil pump, upper oil pan mounting plate, oil pan, or oil pickup tube, since these are commonly reused or sourced separately by the installer. Every engine is manufactured in an ISO 9001:2015 certified facility and backed by a 1 year, unlimited mileage manufacturer warranty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFitment:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2005, 2006 Ford F250\/F350\/F450\/F550 Super Duty 6.0L Powerstroke (18mm dowel pins)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNotes:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThis engine is designed specifically for models with 18mm cylinder head dowel pins\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDoes not include front cover, rear cover, oil pump, upper oil pan mounting plate, oil pan, or oil pickup tube\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComponent brands may vary by build based on parts availability, cannot be specially requested\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e$500 crate charge\/$2,800 core charge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEngine shipping crate must be returned with core engine for full core credit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eManufacturer warranty: 1 year, unlimited mileage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOil cooler replacement highly recommended, mandatory if prior engine had a bearing failure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInjector replacement highly recommended on higher mileage or contaminated fuel engines\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTurbocharger replacement recommended over 125K miles, mandatory if shaft play present or engine was dusted\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWater pump replacement highly recommended if engine has over 125K miles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEvans Waterless Coolant recommended upgrade for corrosion and boilover prevention\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThis product cannot be shipped to California\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.xtremediesel.com\/mm5\/warranty\/DFC_Engines_Owners-Guide.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInstall Instructions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"DFC Diesel","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54607063613724,"sku":"DDUKORE600506STAU18LB","price":6238.26,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0738\/2279\/8108\/files\/60-Front_web.jpg?v=1790355350","url":"https:\/\/www.alligatorperformance.com\/products\/dfc-diesel-kore600506stau18lb-kore-series-long-block-std-auto-2005-2006-ford-f250-f350-super-duty-6-0l-powerstroke-18mm-dowels","provider":"Alligator Performance","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
