Shipping was 200 dollars for a total bill just over 5000 dollars.

I would like to get 3500 out of the motor complete.

It is ready to be shipped and you could have it within a few days of purchase.
This is not for everyone and is a extreemly built 347.
It will hold a ton of nitrous and get some added compression with the piston design.

 

beautiful...... who is building it?

 

This was put together by the same machine shop BADZ used. I went through him when he was a sponsor on here last year. (I am not positive but I think he used LME)
It was very similar build he had as I had similar goals/plans. He ran 9.6-9.8 with his setup spraying very heavily.
I have switched to a 410 cubic inch motor and have been on/off on selling this. I doubt I will use it anytime soon and its time to move on.

 

Wow, thats a killer deal! TTT for ya...

Thanks Shawn.
This is a damn nice build. Hopefully someone that needs a motor will realize this.

 

nice motor good luck, real fair price

 

Thanks soldeir.
TTT.

 

jz's ta's a good seller, got my TT kit from him.

so a TT-T for him.

 

I have had some interest from some FI guys.
This isn't the best motor for a turbo setup or supercharger setup.
This is a great NA/Nitrous setup.
With these pistons the only way you could get this motor under 10:1 compression would be by running a 6.0 head and a .060 or thicker head gasket.

Now I am sure I just worried some people thinking this is a real high compression motor.
High yes, streetable on 93 octane defentially.
Here are a couple compression ratio breakdowns depending on the heads your running.
All numbers will be using a stock size head gasket and non milled heads.
6.0 head ~ 10.15
LS1 head ~ 10.7
LS6 head ~ 11.0
5.3 head ~ 11.35
With milling and gasket thickness these numbers will change but that should give a real good idea to those interested.

 

is this motor better than a 402 ls2

JZ'sTA how much HP do you think this block can handle? Sounds like a great setup but im a little worried about the stock crank?

 

A really unfair comparision.
A 402 is a completly different setup.
It has more cubic inches and there is no replacement for displacement.
This is more of a apples to oranges comparision.
If your going all out the 402 will make more power and torque.
This is basicially a 9.9 out of 10 when it comes to 347 cubic inch motor's. A aftermarket crank would make it a 10, however the stock crank has proven itsself over and over again. GM acturally made on piece in the shortblock very nice, and lucky for us it is the most expensive piece.
What are your goals for your setup scalemaster?
What kind of budget are you working with?
These would make it easier to suggest my motor or a different motor.

 

Stock crank is about the least of your worries.
GM produced a very nice crank when designing this motor and trust me if I felt there was a reason to replace it with a aftermarket crank I would have.
I was planning on running 9's on a DP 250 shot and still believe it is very possible with this shortblock as a great foundation. There is no reason why your couldn't make 500RWHP with a large cam/Very Good heads, 90/90, all bolton's, very good exhaust, and a nice tune.
I was shooting for around 700RWHP with a nitrous cam, and a automatic plus a 250 shot.
This motor will basicially take damn near anything you can throw at it. If you have anymore question feel free to ask.

 

Ihave been thinking about a 402 and lots of NOS but I'm still searching arround for it
and ur set up look very good but I want more cub's

 

Extra cubes is always nice.
Let me know if you have anymore questions.

A advantage will be you could keep your current top end with my motor where as a 402 would more then likely require a better set of heads, and larger cam.
This will defentially handle the juice.

 

I got the MTI STG2 R heads and fast 90 combo

 

The shortblock has some nice components. Looks like it will be a nice set up. However, LME did not build the shortblock. Just wanted to make that clear.

Thank you,

Thanks Brian.
Did BadZ not go through you guys to do his shortblock?
I could have sworn that is the company he used back when he was a sponsor.
Anyways thanks for clearing that up.

Well the intake/TB setup is great for either motor.
I would personially change heads if you go to a bigger motor.
Maybe a AFR225/TEA stage 3 or the same heads you have but in the stage 3 setup with larger valves.
The heads will work great on either setup dont get me wrong I would just go to a stage 3 head on a 402.
Anyways looks like you have a real nice top end package. Again good luck whatever way you decide to go and let me know if you want this shortblock.
Thanks again for the interest.

Toss this bitch back up top.
