Default gm 1.9 s/c value.

what is the priced to sell value of a gm lsa supercharger? it is a 1.9 with a zl1 top and throttle body. I think he also has the air to water factory cooler.

we are thinking about using it but found out the block is junk so we might just go 5.3 turbo instead. rather than find another 4" bore block.

Is that basically a TVS 1900 ??
If so, an easy $3k.
What are you putting it in ?

we were going to put it on a 6.0 and run it in a chevelle but the block we have is junk. and we don't have another 4.0 bore block yet to build so we can run the lsa heads.

we needed just the heads but now a block as well so it might be easier to go turbo and run a 5.3 and sell the s/c

If you are proficient in turbo builds ( I'm not) then you have a good value in the SC. Sell it & move forward. For me ... It's easier to bolt that roots up top & call it a day. If you have the heat exchanger, reservoir & pump you have what you need for the power adder at least.
More importantly, what are your intentions for the Chevelle ? A roots blower is another world from a turbo re: power delivery. If it's a street car ... The roots is a ton of fun.
If you decide to sell it ... The guys over at the GTO site seem to eat them up as soon as you post it.

It depends on how much you have and what shape its in. I have seen a lot of the 1.9's coming up for sale on Facebook pages and a few on here for under a grand for the actual blower unit itself.
