Lq9 motor

I’m not too familiar with what’s normal wear and tear on the internal of a motor. These are pics I was sent of a motor I was supposed to get. To me it doesn’t seem normal ? Can anyone confirm or deny my assumption before I give the green light to ship it? 😅😅

To me it looks like water got into it and has rust. It looks like it has pitting unless it’s just the carbon buildup that makes it seem that way

Lq9 cam recommendations

I’m swapping in a lq9 into my 03 z71 single cab. I’m wanting to throw a cam in it but can’t decided on what. This is my daily so I don’t want something that’s going to kill drivability but want something with a really nice chop. I also plan on running the stock converter. Truck does have a stage 1 4l60 from TCR out in Vegas.

Motor will also have 1 7/8 long tube headers. Will also be doing a melling oil pump, ls7 lifters and wanted to do springs and pushrods while I’m at it.

Currently looking into BTR, TSP, RHP, and LSXceleration.

Thanks!!!
