55k miles out of an 01, made 400whp on dynojet. Has full double spring kit when cam was installed by mike at rapid. I was thinking 3000 but didn't want it to sit forever while I try to sell it. Thanks for the reply though

Just somthing for you to go off of..i gave 8000 for my 02 Z28 with 84000 miles an the only mod it had was a 12 bolt and it wasnt in the best condition!! I'd think you should be able to get at least that for it!!

**** that. OP your robbing yourself. A beat to **** LS1 with "unknown" miles goes for $1,500-$2,500. Do more research. an 01' with 55K on it making 400RWHP should go for at the very least $3,000 maybe even $3,500. If it were me i would ask $3,700 OBO and go from there.

Look what there selling for local. Some places its reallllllly hard to find a used running LS1 you can get in a few days. Someone looking for replacement motor to swap in over there blow up one, is going to have a hard time, thats why junkyard get that they get for a GTO or Fbody LS1. When you can buy a new GM replacement LS6 for a cady for SDPC (people dont want to or know about changing over parts) for the same price they get for a 70K stock 99 camaro LS1. There not many good running LS1 engines around, local I can get LS2s and LS3 easier then looking for a used LS1. There alot more of those cars getting crashed and parted out then OLD LS1 cars.
Not everyone whats to build a new motor from scratch with forged internals. A guy looking for one stock to swap as his 1st LS motor, or somone needing a motor to drive to school or work. So you can't compare what it cost you to rebuild you 3.90x bore LS1 over a few weeks, or months.

When you say complete do you mean with accessories?

well there is a guy on corvette forum that just paid 12K for one from a dealer so you can probably bump your price up a bit and get a taker.
