UPDATE:
I'm picking up a brand-new engine this weekend complete from cover to cover, and it fits my original setup plan to a T, it's just being done with better parts. Jeff at CAM is really looking out for me, seeing as how things went and is doing me a HUGE solid on the pull of the last one and tossing this one in. I was gonna kiss butt with Ben and Greg, and try to snuggle up to Adam for a shop-weekend, but I hate asking so much of so many and Jeff made me a VERY generous offer so I'm gonna let CAM wrap it up.
To cut cost, I am asking them to leave the fuel system to me. I have to pull the rear for the 12 bolt anyway, I may as well do the tank and pump at that point.
Anyway, on with the good stuff. A sympathetic user on tech offered one of those things that you just can't pass up, and I mean it. He is in VA as well (Thanks fash00!). The motor is built with better bits than the A&A motor also. His project changed direction and he's selling his new, uninstalled heartbeat. Here's the skinny, taken from his for-sale thread:
LS6 346 Built by erik down at HPE
shortblock consists of : Callies Compstar 6.125 LS1 Rods W/ARP 2000 Rod Bolts
ARP 234-5608 Main Studs
Weisco K392A01 LS1 25cc Pistons 3.905 Bore
Total Seal Piston rings plasma moly
Block was honed with Torque plates,lined honed main bores,balanced rotating assembly
Federal Mogul 152M 3/4 Groove Main Bearings
Clevite CB 663 H rod bearings for 2.100 SBC Chamfered Race Bearings
Stock Prepped LS6 Crank
Comp Cams 228/228 116
Had a set of stage 2 ported TEA 5.3 Heads and just had them freshened up they have 2.02 Ferrera/1.60 Incolonel valves,multi angle valve job,manley ls1 valve springs with titanium retainers heads flowed 321 at .600 lift
6.0 GM MLS Gaskets and ARP 12 PT head studs
oil pan tapped with 10 an fitting for turbo oil return line
all this is brand new never run i decided on going a different route and need to sell it i will sell all the accesorries and such too(alt,alt relocation bracket,starter,valve covers) with it the motor is 8:4:1 C/R perfect for lots of boost
......I'm picking it up on Sunday
