Default Best place to get a stock LS1 block

Need to get a new block and TSP has raised the prices on their blocks to $1000. Anybody know where to get a new one for less than that?

Might just have to pay up or keep looking for a used one.

Thanks in advance
Seth

Just so you know the aluminum LS2 block is cheaper and stronger at that while still weighing the same amount

While that's true, it still doesn't answer where to get the best price on either LS1/6 or LS2. Scoggins appears to be cheapest with LS2 @ $999.99, LS1/LS6 @ $1,295.00 and the LS3/L92 at $1,399.99.

Anybody cheaper?? I need a block! But, I ain't rich!
