C5R longblock, never ran. How much is this thing worth/numbers? Okay, my mom and her boyfriend called me. A guy they know passed away, and evidently he had a longblock that was never even ran, waiting to go into a car. This is what she sent me, and what I know about it.
"I still haven't found much out about the block. Schwartz Machine Co. emailed me the # to the man @ GM who actually sells them, they just machine them for GM. You'll have to look @ the pics for what all is on it, i've never heard of alot of those names on stuff."
Sounds to me like a C5R block.
LS-6
Cam:
2870 F (Stamped CompCams XFI286R) Lift =in .660
ex .655 minus lash
rpm 2400-7000 Intake .016
Ex .018
In @ O/L 109 deg Advance 1 deg
(etched 54-502-11 cc UV2696-06)
Timing Chain: Cloyes
Crank: Callies
Rods: Callies
Rockers: Comp Cams Shaft Type
Piston: 6395LA125 Comp.Ratio 11.1 (Wiseco)
6395RA125 <dish>
Block: Schwartz Machine Company
HeadGasket: Felpro Permatorque mls 1162 4.175 bore .053 thickness
Headbolt torque 65 ft lbs
20 ft lbs
Pan: Canton #13-274A
6 1/2 quart filter
Bore: 4.125
Stroke: 4.0
Heads: AFR # 1630 150
spring pressure seat 135 lbs. - 1.835
Spring: Comp 26926 open 470
What y'all think? What would be a good ballpark figure to pay for this thing? It has a carb intake on it (minus carb) with a trigger fire setup and what looks like some fancy aftermarket coils.

Sounds like a $10,000+ motor to me....I say see you can get the other party to throw out a starting price, then go from there.....bare C5r block goes for around $6,000

I'd offer them $5000 right off the bat. IF they say no, ease the price up slowly. Chances are, they don't know what they have. Yeah it's a $10k engine, but today's economy says half. Shoot, that's what everyone does to me. I get stupid offers on stuff I have for sale all day long.

I was doing my own this morning on google and this thread came up as first result. I joined here a while back but still using dialup @ home, so the site doesn't work well for me.
It's a done deal, we're committed now.
Thanks to everyone who contributed their knowledge and opinions. Here's a few photos, everything on motor in pics was included.

I'm thinking wet sleeved LS6. Look at the valley cover and see how it has the holes for knock sensors? Those covers won't fit an LS2 block, it has those little posts in the middle.

More pictures for y'all. I don't know enough to differentiate between blocks reliably. I'm hoping someone on here will be able to.
Also, evidently my mom's boyfriend is wierded out because he couldn't figure out where the coolant return was from the pics. All he can see is the inlet, or something like that.

Brand: Wiseco Pistons
Auto Part #: 6395LA125
Looks like a 4.125 bore piston to me...
Yup, I can see that too. Its defintly an LS1/LS6 block...How does the OP know the piston size and part #? Did you pull the heads? I just don't see someone re-sleeving a block when the LS2/LS3/LQ blocks are out there.
