Cool My shortblock has arrived!!!

Got here today. Everything looks great! MAtt @ SDPC told me they were going to use ARP hardware on the main caps. I thought he was talking about ARP bolts, but turns out they used ARP STUDS All at a price less than what other big shops quoted me for stock hardware. I can't reiterate enough how awesome SDPC has come thru for me with everything so far Hell of a customer service guy Matt has been for me. I'd recommend them to anyone looking into anything from small parts up to a totally custom assembled longblock. They rock!

Heres the specs on the engine:

347ci LS6 fully machined block
GM LS6 crank with machined keyway for ATI superdamper
Compstar 6.125" H-Beam Rods w/ ARP 2000 bolts
Mahle 3.903" bore/ -4cc Pistons
ARP main studs

Looking forward to getting all the new parts put on so I can get closer to being back on the road

Good stuff, I have the ARP main studs too, I like them a lot. Studs are just such better quality than bolts.

There are different things that go into the cost. Depends on how built it is for one. Plus, there are a zillion sponsors on here that will price out any combo you want.

Very true. Once you figure out the combo you want, get a quote from all the sponsors you can. Definitely give SDPC a chance to give you a quote as well. I'm sure they will give you as good of a deal as they gave me

LOL. Well, I was going to get a stroker, but decided that would be too much for my P-1SC to keep up with. So a 347 it is for now Should make plenty of powa tho with a 3.4" pulley and a little meth

I've been getting a lot of PM's asking price. I guess I better just post it up so my box doesn't overflow.

With the internals listed above, (new LS6 block, new LS6 crank, compstar rods, mahle pistons, clevite H bearings, and ARP main studs) price was $2900. Shipping was also less (by almost $100!) than the other places I checked as well

Nothing like the look of a fresh SB. You might as well go with ARP head studs as well.
Congrats. I know I wanted to sleep with my new block from LME when I got it. All shiny and mean looking. ooohh aaahhrrrh aahaaha (caveman sounds there)

Thats a good price for a new shortblock with the studs. Congrats.
