Other than that it's fine. Drove it to work today. $700, but you'll have a good drive to texas to come get it.

I have a 2000 C5 short block that was pulled when I installed a Stroker. Has 9200 miles and is in great shape. Complete short block minus oil pan and camshaft. $800 + shipping. Let me know if you are interested or have any questions.

I have no idea on the weight, but I would guess about 300-400lbs. I know that when I shipped a complete long block as the core for the Stroker, it cost about $350 to ship from Co to Ca. If you really are interested, we could make some deal on the shipping. Let me know.
