Angry darn I think I shouldnt have bought my 94z

the prices for stock engine parts is absurb. I had planed on getting a stock block and heads for a rebuild to minimize down time , but I havent been able to find stock heads and block only long blocks. WTF???

.....to me i feel they are dirt cheap. the heads cost a little bit, but they are aluminum, and everybody wants them.

Dude, you can pick up stock heads for $200 pretty regular. Shortblocks with a spun bearing, or bare blocks are about 200 also....


Not bad at all

well when I can get a 302/351 long block for $250 or less, $200 just for a block and $200 for heads seems a bit pricey

The LT1 and LS1 are totally different. The Caprice LT1 BLOCK is the same, the cam and heads are not.

Well, the LT1 is kind of an in between design which drives the price up a little. You can pay to play, or you can be original and keep building 5.0's :blah:
