Engine came in today from AES. I was a little disspointed. Spend $6,500 on a short block,
did not come painted, no covers..not even cam covers, no paper work...nothing. They got it to me within a month as promised though. I guess i have been spoiled though, last built motor i got from Schwanke came looking like a million bucks and was half the price of this short block and came with all the covers. Hell my stock rebuild I got here local looked better than this motor
How my last shortblock from Schwanke engine came minus the studs

Wow. I guess the time frame meant cutting corners. Damn. Mine came like this.
Took me 3 months to pay for it/get it. It was 9k for the longblock, but no covers. I had to request for the valley cover. I said I wanted 9:7 compression, I got 9:3 (no biggie but cmon for 9G's). I can only hope my ls1 covers will work. They are already painted so lets hope so.

The upgrades are what get ya.
By the way Justin, you have yet to mention what cylinder heads your going to run. I figured you'd probably sell them with the ls3 to keep it a "complete package" kind of sell. Unless I missed it somewhere.
