around how much is it to get a lt1 rebuilt and is it hard to do it yourself with the right tools

 

The engine is pretty simple if you pick up a good book and find a good machine shop. The price can very a lot depending on the results you are looking for.

 

It's not bad. I would go with factory components if you are just looking for a rebuild. They lasted 100k+ miles for most people and took a beating.

If you are interested, I just took these out of my brand new GM shortblock.

$175 Shipped UPS ground.

 

Simple rebuild, have the block checked and honed along with new cam bearings installed from your local machine shop than ask them them about a full rebuild kit for it. Get your self a good torque wrench and if you want i can check at work tomorrow and get you any specs that you need just pm me.
