As some of you may know, I blew the motor on my 93 T/A about 2 months ago. I have successfully hunted down an engine that I believe is a hell of a deal. The problem is, the shops here in S.A. want more than I'm willing to pay to drop the motor in.

The bottom end consists of speed pro forged pistons, redone PM connecting Rods, GM forged crank, and total seal piston rings.

The top I'm using stock heads, cam, etc. I'm gonna get a stock gasket kit.

I need help assembling the heads and dropping the motor in the car. Naturally, I want to make sure everything is hooked up properly, which is why I am requesting the help of people who have actually disassembled/reassembled and swapped out an LT1 motor before.

I am open to all offers, all the beer you can drink for the task is on me, along with plenty of dough to boot.

For those of you who think you're qualified and interested, you can post your rate here or PM me, either method is fine.

 

I can't help you personally, but my mechanic here is only charging me 6-700 for a long block install. he is in bryan texas. I don't know if this helps at all. I bet if you shop areound you could find an install for that price. good luck finding someone knowledgable to help you

95 White t-top Z28 M6 Mods include: Hotcam, Macs w/ offroad pipe, flowmaster, airfoil, TB bypass, !EGR, !CAGS and a B&M ripper shifter. Many more to come. I will have some times after I break in my motor.

 

The guys down here want $1450, that is for heads and engine though. I was hoping someone else had done this before. Oh well, If all else fails, I'll have the car towed to Bryan and have him do it for $700, thats better than $1500

 

hey man i will do you heads and install it for $700 i have a few for people on the board just ask around!
email me or call me 945-8396 or my work 599-5611 ask for ryan

Ryan, how much would you do a cam install on an LS1? Including new valve springs?

Jimbo , who here in Bryan are you using ??? TransAm22502 , Let me know your best deal and I'll beat it by at least $50.00 and I have a very good rep here , so you'll be getting top notch work !! I've done a couple of LT1 installs and up grades !!!E-Mail me , Ed O'Neil ( My car speaks for my qualifications !! ) Go to College Station Roll Call !!

i could get the heads/cam/valvetrain all set up for 125, couldnt drop the motor though because i dont have an engine hoist at the moment.

 

Well, the best offer I've received has been from AHARTZ28 for $700. But, he lives like 5 miles away from my house, so the $50 wouldn't benefit me much, cause I'd have to have the car towed to College Station.

I AM taking my old block and building a KILLER 383, the best this board has ever seen. It'll take me like 2-4 years to get there, but I'll take your help on that.
