L96, pull the trigger?
L96, pull the trigger? Hey guys,
I have the chance to pick up a 2012 L96 out of a truck with 20k original miles for $2200. The truck was wrecked. It includes everything for the engine (including harness and computer) minus the starter and the power steering pulley is tweaked (probably from being pulled from the chassis). Is this considered a good deal? It's the iron block 6.0 with VVT and L92 LS3 heads. If I picked it up it would be going into my pro touring 71 nova project that I want to put a six speed manual behind (probably t56 magnum). Still unsure of the entire suspension that I am going to run. I would end up putting a cam in the engine and switch to a car intake and aftermarket computer/harness for tuning. Working and doing school full time though this engine may realistically sit two to three years before it gets into the car and is running. I know this is something I could always sell if it sat around too long and it would not be hard to get rid of. Thanks in advance guys!
PS-I hope this is the right forum.
