Or plug n play rather.

Yes.

Long blocks and complete engines will be quoted for each job because they can vary based on what's included, but roughly speaking around $15k for a long block and $18-20k for a complete engine.

Would it be possible to run cnc ported 243 heads on this or do you think you should just run ls3 heads? Thanks

Not sure if this has been asked but how does this block hold up to boost?

Mr. Sir

what's the difference between the short/long block? just heads/cam?

Edit: just talking about this particular engine. I know the difference between a shortblock and longblock.

Long block has heads, short does not. I doubt you get a cam with either options unless you specify and pay extra.

Mr. Sir

I know that's supposed to be the difference, but I really can't think of any heads worth $9000. I was just wondering what the extra $$$ go toward.

You should run LS3 heads.

It is not meant for boost.

Short block is block, crank, rods, pistons, bearings.

Long block is a complete engine minus electronics, intake, and oil pan.

What about using small bore LS7 heads and LS7 intake?

How much would an ARE dry sump setup be for this motor in an 06 gto? Would it require a different crankshaft. Thanks

We have not analyzed this combination. It should be looked at and possibly mocked up by a qualified engine builder. We designed this for LS3 heads.

You could use an ARE system that mounts the pump where the AC compressor was. A different crankshaft would not be required. Pan, tank, and pump should be about $3500.

I figured that.

Thanks Jason! How do you expect this motor to hold up to occasional road racing? Will it be ok with higher sustained rpm's or is this engine intended more for the street?

Thanks again

I would expect it to hold up to occasional light HPDE use. I'm not sure what you are defining as higher rpm, but the engine has a suggested redline of 6800. If you were to maintain a lower redline it would also help prolong engine life.
