Default New ls2 block

I could be wrong but I thought I remember hearing of these block's going for $800-900 new from GM. I called my local dealer and they were $1471 retail, and about $1130 my cost. Is there anywhere else you can get them cheaper?

Yeah I saw that. I am sure after freight my local dealer will be cheaper.

I am mainly trying to see if the cost's went up, if I was mistaken that they were ever sold for $800-$900, or if anyone had a place out there they could be had cheaper.

Maybe it was the ls6 block you were thinking of. Honestly, I'd spill the extra 300 and go for the ls3/L92 block and go with a 416, for 300 bucks it would be worth it.

Only time you'd find an LS2 block for that cheap is if you got it off the forums. They were never sold that cheap retail. Sorry.
