ok so im debating on what i should do here for 1 408 build i want to do.. let me start of by saying this is going into a 1972 camaro rs and have been going back and forth on what i should do.

I have looking for the engine complete either a LQ4 or Lq9 and out here in cali these things are gold!! i know other places they are cheaper but cant seem to find a good deal or at least one thats worth it, so ive come to 3 options

1) patience is a virtue-- wait it out and wait till i find something post up on here or get lucky on CL(which is also a gamble) or try to find something come up locally and shove her in and get her running then eventaully pull her out and go 408!!

2)get a bare block from summit for $797 to my door already a 408 and save up for the rest, or something that pops up here or that i find aswell.

3) just save up a lil bit a get a short block from tsp for about $3,500 which realisticly isnt a bad deal or get ahold of a sponser on here and get one

what you think i should do/ or you'd do..as always want to be able to get it done as cheap as possible and not the most patient person hahah

 

i will be watching this thread closely as i plan on building a 408 as well

 

Any thoughts?

 

I'm selling my 402 complete if interested. (All great parts, no corners cut) But I can also part it out. It's a 10 sec. Motor that will put down around 530rwhp to the tires. And I'm in Cali.

I've got a for sale thread in the western section classifieds.

 

Man looks like a beast setup but damn that's WAY more then I'm looking to coin up right now but it's all there

 

Lol, I said the same thing. And I started with a $4000 LQ9 budget, lol.

 

Oh yea I know ill end up there though when all said and done

 

Up top!!
