Ls9
The LSA is significantly cheaper than the LS9, and considering it's supercharged, a better value than the LS7

Can anyone "definitively" confirm where the LSA and LS9 engines are being assembled? I know the LS7 is assembled at GM's Performance Build Center. It says on GM's web page (see below) that the (marine) LSA is assembled in Mexico which concerns me. The Mexican assembly plants are notorious for poor "Quality Control" and worse yet if it's a "third party" assembly plant.

Please note that this is not meant to be an insult in any way to the good people of Mexico.

You do realize LSA does not always equal lope right. Also do you really think GM would make a cam that lopes on a supercharged engine? Or that lopes in general for that reason? The only one that really comes close is the C5Z.

Available, but with special approval from GM, and not even 3k less than the compete engine. It's not worth buying just the shortblock.

No, it won't fit and it won't work on LS1 style heads. It's also going to be more expensive than a tried and true aftermarket system.

if you want a short block ls9 just build one
ls3 block 1500
ls9 crank 750
ls9 rods 4K
ls9 pistons 600.
my prices might be a little high or low. but i know the crank is cheap for GM price. i would just pt like compstar($600) or oliver billet($1100) rods and call it a day.
or and have katach do the oil squirters. they told me 160 for machine work. and they are like 50 dollars a squirter.
maybe because after you do all of that, you still have to buy the heads? and bearings? and plugs? and extra machine work? and gaskets? and it will have ZERO wnty? AND you will have to wait in line for all of these things to be available separate? looks like your wheelin dealing bargain isnt such a bargain is it
Hey g. The guy asked about a short block. Not a long block. Read. And dicky said the short block is 3k under the price of the crate motor
And if he only wants short block. I bet it is chase he wants forged bottom end
So don't be a smart ***. I knew there was no heads. But hell add heads your at like 1500. And all the light **** covers, bolts, bearings, whatever else your around 1k
And the warrenty is only good if you don't touch the motor.

maybe you should try a little research first. I wasnt being a dick. I was being honest. I am sorry my honestly offends you. That is not a "shortblock" by regular terms, its a short block in the fact that you dont get the supercharger. GM isnt so big on the short blocks lately. So, lets factor in all that stuff plus alot more. Like you said all the oil pan and "****". Then good luck finding the heads for $1500.
