Nope. Those prices are probably the lowest you'll find anywhere. Internet rumour and fact are two different things as you can see

Anyway, that's the route I'd go if I was going to do any type of LSx buildup for cheap. Hell, there's even a stock-cube forged build for less than $3000. It would probably work well if I ever decided to change my blower pulley

Re: LS7 in an f-body

just think of this. A low compression aluminum 402 from slp. decent heads, medium cam, and a P1s-c from procharger with a #5. You'd probably get 600-650 rwhp and porbably even get decent gas milage and turn a mid 10's - 11 on pump gas.

Don't forget $2500 for a 12-bolt and a bunch more on some nice strong bits to put on those heads.

Where can you get a built T56 for $1000?

Or did you mean $1000 to build the T56 you already have?

Is that $1900 before or after the core return?

Re: LS7 in an f-body

i think before. you pay 1900 for the new trans, then get 750 when you send you old one back. i think.

That's not a bad deal. Not that I have the money right now, but do you have a link with more details?

Re: LS7 in an f-body

Yea,

http://www.ls1speed.com/catagory.cfm...y=Transmission

If that doesnt work, go here:

http://www.ls1speed.com

Then check on camaro and your year. then transmissions. then go down to the first finish line t-56. (part # T56-STREET)

hope that helps.

That's close to what I have, but I have much less.

I have a plain jane stock-internal 346ci LS1 with a tiny cam, cleaned-up heads, LS6 intake manifold, bolt-ons, exhaust, and a P1SC with 5# and made 514rwhp through the POS 4L60E.

I get 20/27 mpg with 3.73s and an auto.

Here's a video:

Re: LS7 in an f-body

and you dont think that the 402 with better heads and the rest the same could turn 600+ at the wheels?

Without a doubt. Especially with more cubes and a bigger cam. Most boost would be even more crazy. There's no reason that 402 LS2 couldn't go 700+rwhp on the P1SC with ease when pullied down.

By stock displacement I mean an LS1/6..

I've been dancing around the idea of the SpeedInc 383 Stroker Sprtsman, w/ an ATI blower. 600 hp easy. -But it's only a short block. WHat's cam and heads of my chioce, tho... SoO many options.

THat's when I noticed the 6.0L punch and stroke to a 427. THe displacement this is what gets me going. Can't help but wonder. Pluss as we all know, you can't leave well enough alone.

But, then there's the LS2. If I already had the motor, the rotating assy and labor for the 427 work isn't too bad. It'd be worth the $$$$... Pluss you get a rotating assy out of it anyway due to larger displacement requirement. ...but there is an obvious differance between the LS2 and the 383sm.
