Default Anyplace sell a complete LS1 rebuild kit?

I had my head gasket start to leak so I pulled my heads and then had to pull the entire engine due to a broken head bolt. I have a 408 LQ9 block I was going to build instead but right now I have too much going on and the money isn't there so I just want to rebuild my LS1 so I have my TA to drive again.

I went on Texas Speed and started adding everything one by one including ARP head and rod bolts and it's a pain in the *** since there's so much from crank and cam bearings, front/rear seals, oil pan gasket and so on. So does anyplace sell a complete kit with everything included to make it simpler and possibly cheaper for buying it all at once? Thanks

I would recomend talking to a machine shop that deals with LS motors or call TSP directly.

Yeah just let me know guys. We don't offer packages on them simply because there's about a million different setups you can go with. We carry every new GM gasket for an engine build and have factory replacement rings and bearings to rebuild your factory motor. Just let us know if we can help.

with all you guys needing rebuilds just curious what kind of miles you got on the motors? I've heard of these lasting way beyond 200K taking a beating the whole way but others go bad pretty quick for some reason.

60,000 miles my harmonic balancer starting to creep out. i remember i had a pretty bad knock. its been a year a half since the cars been sitting. ready to get the show on the road. i was on summit for a gasket, bearing, rings kit and it was looking in the upwards of 600 dollars. i have a low mileage ls6 crank just waiting on my checks to come so i can order the rest of the parts. I cant seem to send Jon a pm. can you please pm me on a price. again sorry to hijack an old thread.
