New build..i guess
Picked up a 50k mile LT4 this weekend for 800 bucks. Put all new gaskets in it last night and cleaned it up.Motor looks to be in really good shape.
My H/C/I Motor is coming out for some work that will take a couple years. The stock motor is going in and i will be daily driving the car for now.
Plans for the other motor include callies crank and rods...and a few other things 1 of them which looks like a snail.
Ill post pictures tonight Happy Veterans Day!

The 4-bolt mains are not worth paying extra for because by the time you need 4-bolts you should be looking at aftermarket caps and the machining that goes with them. I am NOT even commenting on the straight vs. splayed argument, just saying 4-bolt aren't a big help with stock caps.
That said I would buy an LT4 longblock for $800 flip the stuff and make a profit.

Thanks guys...The LT4 i picked up is just a stock motor so i can dd it while i'm building the other stock 4 bolt motor i have. I miss driving it all the time and this will be a good way to do it. It will take sometime to put the long block together since i will be sinking some pretty good money into this turbo build. Saturday will be when the motor swap party will be going on I'll have pics.
