We offer an LS3 crate engine that will swap in. The engine comes with a 2 year warranty, unlimited mileage.

Edelbrock LS3 Shortblock

Thanks,
Kyle

I was not wanting to spend more than 6500.00 for the motor.

The short block looked good but 720hp is way more than what I'm looking for.

They are actually a unique valve cover Edelbrock only sells with the engine. Your factory valve covers can of course replace the if room is a problem, unless of course they are perimeter bolt valve covers. A 2002 shouldn't be an issue how-ever.

Thanks,
Kyle

I can understand that. We all have to work with-in our budget. There are a few vendors here that specialize in manufacturing engines. We specialize in engine parts, and also engineering unique parts for LS1 engines and more.

To see more of what we do, please check out this thread:

Thanks,

Try Gandrud Chevrolet and ask for Don in parts at 800-242-2844 they sell freight free and no tax if out of state. Best deal I found anywhere.
