Default should I build it or sell it

Im on the fence and want to see what you guys would do. Should I keep my LS1 motor and build it over the next few years (I already have heads, roller rockersand springs) or should I sell it?

I don't get the question. Are you saying, if you sell it, you will be putting in a different engine, or what?

I vote build it, since you already have a set of heads and all that other stuff. You can always do something like an LS1 RX-7, Notchback Mustang LS1, etc.

How much if you plan on selling it? And how many miles on the motor? I would say keep it to swap into something else.

it has 105k, runs strong, I always kept up on service, synthetics only, never wrecklessly bounced the rev limiter. This is one of the ONLY LS1 engine I know that does not eat oil! Ive decided to sell the engine, with trans if I can. Im asking $2500 for motor/trans/comp and harness

I'd have to say sell it then. Who knows when you would actually get around to doing something with it. Now, if you have something planned, or are going to try and getting something underway in the next 6months or so, then keep it.
