LS Engine?: Fits LS Engine

****SOLD******
Forced Induction Engine ERL/Kurt Urban/TFS complete engine from oil pan to intake.
The short block was assembled two years ago; the TFS heads were added last winter. The main bearings were checked last winter and were in perfect shape. There was no blow by and I believe the rings are in perfect condition. In order to sell as a refreshed block I have sent the short block back to Kurt Urban to install new rings and bearings. I prefer to have Kurt assemble the engine and sell this as a complete engine but I will separate the package. The compression ratio was 8.8. This engine went 8.29@166 with a #3750 race weight. In X275 trim at #3720 it went 5.300@139 last year. Price for long block assembled and crated plus shipping is $9500 this is less than half the cost of replacement. It is about the same price as a new ERL short block would cost. It is a proven combination.
Pm for separate prices on what you would like to purchase as a part out.

The springs are the K-motion K-800 1.460 diameter, they are setup for .650 lift and had over 200# on the seat. The rockers are harland sharp but they have a custom girdle that Kurt Urban made to tie them together. The super alloy exhaust valves are not inconel but are a high nickel high carbon alloy. A lot of people pass them off as inconel these days. I dont know the flow numbers but I bought these heads from Mark Koehler last winter. He got them in september so they only had a few races on them. He went 7.50 with this head and valvetrain combination. I raced them all last year so they are only a little over a year old. the pushrods are 3/8" mantons IIRC They also come with the ARP washers machined into the heads to keep the aluminum from distorting. The heads are opened up in the push rod area to allow room for the big push rods.
I did put new springs and a valve job on these last winter.

heads breakdown
heads from Trickflow $2,500.00
upgrade valve springs and machine work $300.00
3/8 heavy wall tool steel end push rods $400.00
Harlan sharp rockers $350.00
custom girdle that ties them together $200.00
titanian intake super alloy exhaust valves $1,000.00
trick flow valve cover spacers $200.00
O-ring machine work $300.00
port matching intake to heads $200.00
ARP washers with machine work to install them $100.00
Total $5,550.00

The engine picture is with the 4 bolt heads from two years ago. The TFS are 6 bolt. I dont have current block pictures.

I have had some questions in PM so I will post in the thread also.
The heads are 70cc
The block and heads are setup with the ERL style double o-ring/copper head gasket system. There are options available if you are not interested in using it with the copper head gaskets.
