LS9 Crate Engine Next Fall!!! http://jalopnik.com/tag/LS9-Crate-Engine/
It's a go, but we won't see it until next fall.
Any ideas what it will cost?

As stated above def nice to get a 600+ hp engine with a warranty however unless I were building a show car id run an LSx block with an s88/s91 or Procharger F1 for that kind of money. Def a cool engine though!

Wow, if it is $27k I cannot see them selling many!
I am building a 69 Camaro and had considered the LS9, but not at that cost...
$27k (if that is correct) crate engine
+$2k for oil system (drysump)
+$1k computer and wiring harness
+$1-$2k misc front drive parts etc
= about $32k for a complete running engine.... ouch!

Well...it fits with the goofy way GM has done limited edition or extremely expensive crate motors in the past.
LT5...close to $25,000 in the early nineties but that was a stuipd expensive engine all around.
ZL1...what was that thing, $21,000 and a limited production run of individually numbered engines? Take a ramjet 502, swap the block out for aluminum, and raise the cost $10,000??!?
They did a small block that way too...insane cost and individually numbered.
I guess they are worried about selling insanely expensive engines to the crowd who wants an exclusive crate motor.
