Default Any 1 running Valvegod's LS6 shortblock

As some of you know I blew my motor I need a new short block and I have been talking to Valvegod. I know hes been on these forums along time I just never heard of how his built short blocks hold up. Anyone know anyone that has 1 or any input would be appreciated.

Don't have any specifics on that setup, but I will tell you that Shaun Carter is well respected and a trustworthy person to buy from. I doubt you'll find anyone that says otherwise.

Bought an LS6 block from him about two months ago.

I've dealt w/ him in person several times and he seems pretty fair. I was unaware he was building motors? He must be having a machine shop do it for him since he only has a small warehouse. I'll have to check the motors out sometime.

Just wanted to let you know I have an engine on Ebay with no reserve, opening bid of 1800 will win it today around 6:54 central. Check it out here. I just rebuilt this and it is ready to run, and a steal at that price!

He's built a few of my transmissions... All were top quality. His prices are fair, his quality is great, and he's a wealth of knowledge. Plus, he can get you the weird parts the dealer has no clue about.

This is the kind of response i was looking for. I think for the price he asks for a LS6 shortblock is very reasonable plus the fact that GM doesnt even offer that. I can definately afford to rebuild my car with guys like valvegod. Thanks guys for the replies.

Geez !

With all this positive feedback it's a wonder he does not put up a banner and become a sponsor ! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" />

There are plenty of us thrifty type guys that would love to give him some business ! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />
