Default Where can I find an ls1 block??

Ive been looking for a block for months now..i cannot locate a good used block with main caps...

Anyone have any tips?? I check ebay alot and none were a reasonable price.

any connections or places that carry stuff like that?

I mean if i could find a couple for even around $500 shipped id be fine with that. but its impossible to find them...

You might be able to get one for $500 from a sponsor that has extra cores. It's worth a shot.

I have been scouring Dallas/Fort Worth and sponsors etc. as well to find a block to send to MTI for a core, with not much luck. The problem is, everyone who has a block laying around is either a full shortblock from an iron block swap, or a cracked and borked up block from making it go boom.

I think Valvegod is more than $500 shipped, there's your problem, I think you need to pay a little more.

I have an LS1 block with pistons/rods/oil pump...all....if you live or can make it to houston I'll let ya have it for 300 bux. It was making over 440hp N/A and 550rwhp with 100shot TNT on it...heads are off...all you'd need to do is unbolt from tranny and engine mounts and carry it on.

call me @ 713-301-3328 needs to be in a HURRY though cause I'm getting rid of it ASAP.
