Default WTB short block

I blew my engine in my SS Friday looking to purchase a short block. Right now I don't see insurance covering it so my budget is $3600 shipped to 96706. Let me know what you got.
Thanks

My buddy has an LS2 longblock for sale that I pulled from a 2005 Corvette late last year. It's got 24K miles on it and will also drop right into your car since it already has the 24x reluctor wheel.

I believe he's looking to get $3300 for it so if you're interested let me know and I can put you in touch with him directly.

Uhhh... you an buy complete lq9 6.0 long blocks for under 1500$ shipped with low low low mileage and a warranty.
Or Hell... you can get l92s longs for under 2200$ shipped.
L76 is another option as well, more cubes without the added weight.. they run around 1800iirc..

For 3600 you can buy a damn forged shortblock from tsp. I know lme has their shorts on sale as well.

Just trying to help you out.

With as cheap as 6.0 lq9s are there is zero reason to go back stock cube.

Thanks I'm still shopping around. Shipping is killer for Hawaii. I may have found an LQ9 locally just need the dude to reply back. Im still looking around. Its kind of a big purchase to me anyway so I am definitely not just going to jump in.

I am getting a shipping quote, but take a look at some of our built shortblocks. This is a forged piston/rod Iron 6.2L, http://www.schwankeshortblocks.com/s...?i=1491&c=1216

If the shipping doesn't get to out of hand, I would recommend the iron 415, http://www.schwankeshortblocks.com/s...?i=1497&c=1216

Give us a call or PM if you are interested.
