I have a brand new 388 Big Bore shortblock here, with all new parts. 4.125 Bore Wiseco Pistons, 6.125" Manley Rods, NEW stock Crank. This is in a Brand New Resleeved Aluminum Block ($2k alone). Includes a new Double Roller Chain, Oil Pump, and I have three new Cams to choose from.

Take a look at any vendor, and a comparable engine is $5750, plus core charge, then you need to ship the new engine here, and ship your core back to them, so it would total to. Figure what a good LS1 core is worth, you're about $7,000. I can sell this one finished and assembled (no wait), and deliver it for $5,000.

I can also take a credit card for this if anyone needs.

 

one of you guys looking into an engine swap should buy this. too bad mike is away, i think he might have been interested.

 

YES

 

Do you want the core Kurtis? If not, that's a KILLER deal!! Buy this motor, sell yours complete for a couple g's, and you've got a kickass motor for ~$2k....awaiting some matching heads.

 

Nope, don't need the core.

If anyone wanted I could actually finish the engine and deliver it as a complete engine at an extra cost. >450rw+ should be achievable depending on your budget and cam wants/needs.

 

hmmm

back to my dilemma .. i think i've found the perfect answer

If i could, id drop that badass LS1 in my camaro and have the best of both worlds

who knows, if u still have this in another month or two, and given that i get a half decent paying job i just might do this

 

Very tempting and I will think about this.
