thinking of buying this motor. good deal? my buddy had done an ls1 swap into his 66 chevy pickup and now wants to go l92 so the motor is up for sale. heres the info. the motor has just under 2k on it and its set up for a 300 shot but has never been sprayed to this point.
Diamond 3.905 pistons
Eagle Rods with ARP bolts
Stock polished crank
ARP main studs
Trex (other cam or none)
Absolute speed heads 62cc, 2.02/1.57 valves with Crane 835 springs and Ti retainers
.045 head gasket
GM Lifters
Chrome Alloy Push Rods
GM rockers
New LS6 oil pump
Double roller timing chain
ASP UD pulley
LS6 intake
Ported stock TB
SVO 30lb injectors
hes keeping the intake and pulley as i already have em on mine, and hes gonna switch the cam out for something a lil more streetable (he has an ms3 laying around the shop so problably that one). and hes gonna keep my 160k motor to do a build for a friend of his.
here are the flow #'s on the heads
Lift............Intake...........Exhaust
200...........149...............112
300...........208...............169
400...........257...............201
450...........276...............211
500...........288...............219
550...........296...............222
600...........306...............226
not all that much @600 but def really good midrange IMO.
Heres the deal, he does the swap, keeps my stock motor, tunes it, and charges me 5 g's. definitly a good deal, im basically getting the tune and half the labor free ,give or take. Right? the only thing that worries me is the power that it made prior was only 440, i know it was through an auto(4L80E) and set up for spray but does that sound right considering the cam that was in there (trex). i know the guy personally and he would not try and scam me, I just wanna make sure im gonna make a good 450 na through an m6 with that ms3. its a killer deal anyway, just want some more expert opinions. THANKS!

yea hes doing the complete swap, i get the car back running. I really wanted to get an ss hood and change out the rearend and freshen up the trans first, but i think this is too good of a dea to pass up. im gonna get ahold of him tuesday, its gonna be a tight budget for a few months but i think im gonna go through with it
