Ummmm have you seen it run, do u know the guy? Dose he have proof of the parts? considering a used ls1 can go for 500-800 bucks stock, the intake setup is about 1400 and the heads is about 1500-2000 I and all the toher stuff hmmm... I wouldent buy the motor oh and ur in the middle east if the motor is located there then I would take a deep look at it. If its in the states then I woulden tbuy it. It will be a fourtine to ship it.
no!! if it was forged, I'd say maybe, but I dont thrust no one...except sponsors!
check this out; used 6.0l 300-500, slap on L92 heads and L76 kit for less than 2000$ Cam+mist stuff is 1K$ pushing it...
You could build a cheap 408 for 6500$
just my 02.

Your dyno numbers seem really low for that cam, lt's and ls6 intake.
Was it tuned?
I would pass.... for 6500 you can build a nice little setup yourself and know what you got

For what you have, a Dynojet for your mods should be atleast into the 380's-390's. A pulley and cutout should solidfy 390's but every car is different. That car cant be tuned or that dyno way off.

check out the dyno section, there are plenty of m6 h/c/i cars making 450. it seems that all you need is:
Tune: MOST IMPORTANT!!
good heads: stock 243s - tea tfs 215s ($350-2500)
med cam: you already have
intake: ls6 or fast
ud pulley
exhaust: you have a great start, i would change catback but you can add a cut out for a nice little gain

I'd never recommend buying a used "built" engine anyway, unless the price was in the $500-1000 range. You never know what you're getting into, and usually you wind up buying other peoples' problems with a used modified engine.
Stock take-out engines are OK, but wise men once said forgiveness is divine, but never pay full price for late pizza........or buy used heads/cam motors.

I'd say $6500 for a long block LS isn't very good. For example I have a 900 mile LS3 with heads & cam that makes 500rwhp for sale for $4500...
