Default Need core short block
I need a ls2 or ls3 gutted short block for mocking.
Can be cracked and beat up. No internals needed. The mock up plastic blocks are over $400.
Any sources?

Why does it have to be a ls2 or 3 then if your mocking? Use any old 4.8. Not like there is any external difference.

Plus you should be able to use craigslist so you can find someone close to you because most of us are probably too far away

Are they the same block with different internals?

No

4.8 iron
5.3 iron and aluminum
6.0lq4 iron
6.0lq9 iron
6.0ls2 aluminum
6.2 aluminum
7.0 aluminum

They all have the same stroke crank except the 4.8 and the 7.0
