You could always pick up a cheap 4.8 or 5.3 to just get it running and then work on building a better engine in the mean time.

The LS1 crate motor has been discontinued by GM and is no longer available. Closest replacement would be a LS2 Long Block for $5883.00 + Freight. You can also pick up a LS3 crate motor for $6900 + Freight.

Flip through the 2013 catalog and let me know if you see a LS1 Crate Motor in there. We are a GM/CP Dealer and I can GUARANTEE you they are no longer available.

I wouldnt pay soo much for a LS1 crate engine. Rather go with a LS2/LS3.
