Default SPONSORS - Best Deal on LS1 Shortblock

I'm doing some searching for a stockish LS1 shortblock for a new project, anyone know of any good / trustworthy deals out there for an ls1tech.com moderator?

I haven't decided on heads yet, just really need a stock-ish bottom end / possibly forged pistons, nothing fancy.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

I need a shortblock, too. Any sponsors have a low-mileage, used block laying around? Who has the best prices on all-bore motors if I decide to go with bigger cubes? TIA!

I'm not neccessarily looking for a GP or anything, just the best deal.

I AM going to buy one soon (like in a week), any sponsors want to step up and make a $3k-$4k sale?
