Buying ls1 block... What to look for?
I'm in the market for a ls1 block and im talking to a guy about one out of a 2000 camaro. He wants 225 including main caps. What should I check out on the block and is that a fair price?

The price is ok. Look over it for any cracks, marks from spun bearings and cylinder wear.....if possible see if you can take it to a machine shop and have looked over before you buy it.

Don't forget that you ARE NOT in SBC Gen1 Land anymore! You can't bore an LS1 overbore like you can an Iron Gen1! Has to be resleaved or a light hone. If the cylinders are scored then it is junk....unless you want to fork out the $$ for a resleeve job which that kind of money would get you a brand new block at GM!
So look at the cylinder walls VERY closely!
