This is a completely assembled longblock right now and would be looking to get $9000 for everything. I have over $14000 in everything as of right now.

Now i also have a ton of parts that i would be willing to sell as well.

here are just a few pics i have right now but have a ton i can upload






This would basically be a complete drop in motor that is meant to run mid to low 9's on motor and run low 8's on nitrous. Thanks for looking and am open to trades and offers as well. although i feel like i have priced the motor very cheap but understand that its a lot of money to spend. Its a great combination that has serious potential.

Thanks Bob, I am really on the fence with it right now. Odds are that i will just be installing it and running it, hopefully get everything dialed in an make it to the lsx shootout.

Forgot to mention that i have recently got the custom cometic head gaskets and the heads are now torqued down, lifters, pushrods, and complete valvetrain is installed and the valve lash has been set. So basically its ready to drop in and go.

Very nice!

I just spent more than this building a solid roller 418 and doing much of the assembly myself aside from the shortblock. This is a wicked deal, Im sure you shouldnt have a problem selling it to someone who had something like this in mind.

Good luck with the sale!

Thanks, yea i know it takes a person looking for something like it to sell it, which is probably why i will be running it. I really want to get it running and see what it does but i still have so much work left to do and so little time. 2 more weeks of summer school then i have surgery and then start fall semester 2 weeks after that.
