On the Fence Boost long block+ i need a vendor. Im From Seattle area, im looking for a vendor who can provide a long block +. The +, = im starting from scratch. so i will need flywheel to water pump/oil pan to intake, all the sensors, ecm and harness. im sure i can source alt, P/S with the brackets from an F-body car.
Funny thing is The LS movement hasent really hit in the NW. most of the shops dont have the tooling for the LS platform. or i would build my own starting from a pull out LQ4.
would like to build to support 1200 hp on c-16 and max effort on 92 pump for the street. mostly a show and go car with a few 1/4 mile races a year.
I have read enough to know what parts are needed and i always like to hear opinions, mostly looking for a vendor willing to put it together and ship.
Will be installed into a 1970 AMC Javelin, TH-400, Fab-9, caged, tubbed, ECT.

Thank you, not a big help with the regional thread. it was mostly people wanting to meet up with their DD cars. Not a lot of heavy hitters in the PNW, that is why im looking at the heart of LS land for answers.

thanks for the replies, let me try to explain my delima a little better. i see that a lot of the engine builders will do a short block and some will do a long block. very few advertise what im looking for. i dont have anything for the build. no covers sensors coils ect.
I guess im worried all the parts needed to complete a long block will be super expensive and hard to find.
im thinking something like Speartech harness and HP tuner for the injection

Also...a few dedicated hours on your end in the for sale section will probably get you most of the parts you need at a reasonable cost.
