what exactly is included/excluded in a shortblock? title.
also are these sold already bored and/or stroked or just "ready to be".
a nice 380-ISH cid motor looks interesting, what are the real prices in order to have one of these running?

Re: what exactly is included/excluded in a shortblock? Usually, when talking about an ls1 style block a shortblock includes: Ls1 Block,Main Caps,Main Bearings,Rods,Rod Bearings,Pistons,Rings,Piston pins,cam bearings, all fully assembled. I think that the old school shortblocks included a Camshaft and lifters but not the ls1's. As far a a stroked and or bored shortblock, the possibilities are limitless, you can shop around for just about anything you want.

Re: what exactly is included/excluded in a shortblock? what's a good price for a quality re-sleeved block?
also these components are they of better strength/durability? (as is the blocked forged)

Re: what exactly is included/excluded in a shortblock? The internals of just about any shortblock that you buy from a sponsor will have upgrades in strength/durability of the internal parts. As far as a resleeved block, If you just want the block, then buy a new one. SDPC has them for around $1200 the last time I checked. But if you are looking for a huge bore size, then MTI sells resleeved blocks for larger cu. in. setups.
