cost of an 800rwhp LSx build thinking of doing an LSx swap into my GN. What is the approx cost of said engine.. not counting a trans, I have a 4L80E in storage already
basically for the longblock, 6.0L 370ish cubes

Im not decided on doing it yet or not, but I could sell my long block and a few other parts and have enough to get a LSx long block. But then theres the other swap parts needed to go into a G Body.
Anotehr thing is parts availability, many more parts for the LSx, although there is alot for the turbo 6 too. To make the power I want now, Id have to go to a Stage II Buick and the cost to build that is anywhere from $15-$20K.
well when i had GMRSpeed up and running we sold 800rwhp set up for 17000 which included 6.0 motor twin turbo kit fuel system and labor... soo knock off labor which I think was about 2000 and there ya go.. now depending on what deals you can find you may be able to knock a bit more off
