Wow, nice deal. I have over 10k in my engine and I reused everything that I could. I can't believe all the stuff that is included for 8k.

I believe it is 11:1 compression (have to check). You will probably want to change the cam if you're driving it daily.

Rwhp depends on a lot of factors.

Yes, it is a 6.5L sleeved LS1

The cam is our Trac cam. 258 / 258 @ .050, .578 / .578 lift 110LSA

Cause 561 at the flywheel would be weak for a 6.5L ls1. Nice parts though.

1.4 hp/ci is pretty typical

I think what he's getting at is 560 flywheel is roughly 470 rwhp for a 6.5l isn't that great considering some people are putting that down with stock displacement motors.

Not taking sides, just explaining what he's saying.

You're comparing a tuner shop's chassis dyno marketing tool to Katech's accurate engine dyno test cells. I've had this debate a thousand times. I can make the chassis dyno say whatever you want.

This is a nice little package and pretty sure this thing would be a monster on the street. One thing I am not getting though, why a 78?

Jason, Looks like another Quality Product from Katech!!!

That is a really good price considering all the major work done to it...

Resleeved LS1 block with billet main caps. Thats half the cost of your asking price right there... Not to mention Your buying from a reputable builder so you know the engine was done right.

if they can sell the 78mm off and put a fast 92 in IM IN.
do you have a dynochart of the engine, just want to see what it looks like.
Can we put in a more aggressive cam for a max effort setup?

We can change the cam or the intake to whatever you want if you want to pay for it.

Is this only 1 engine for sale or a product?
