We do stock shorts for under $2k. Phoenix Performance has LS6 T1 long block take outs for about $3500 complete.

Not for a "built" or forged shortblock.

Jason, about how much would a "stock" rebuild cost. One like what was in your T/A when you were testing the Trex cam.

Completely stock shorts are $1500. Add a JE Piston and Ring Set, ARP Main Studs and Rod Bolts and I can do them for $2400. All blocks are cleaned, inspected, line honed, square decked, honed with torque plate (warm), rods re-sized, crank polished, rotating assembly balanced and new cam GM bearings installed. We use either GM or FM bearings. An engine build sheet is included with every block.

These are rotating assemblies only. No cam, lifters, chain or pump.
