Crate LT1 Bout how much would you guys pay for one that was complete except valve covers and accessories and zero miles...I have the chance to get one and want you guys to tell me how much it's worth without me telling you how much he wants for it
bone stock with a great rebuild that was just a long block and bolt up accessories....I would pay $1500 for it. ITs complete right intake, injecors, flywheel, waterpump, egr valve????
i would buy it then disassemble it and put performance bearings in it, knowing me i would do forged pistons and new H-beam rods also....
however that all depends on what you are planning on doing with the car.

Haha...I prolly am...it's just some random mechanic that came into my store and got to talking to me about my camaro...said he got it for some old lady's impala and before he put it in she died...sooo...I hope he's not full of sh*t and it's actually what he says...I could prolly even talk him down some more on the price
if its for an impala... its probably going to feel alot slower than your stock engine... due to the heavier iron heads, a weaker cam (that usually came in them), and i believe they had a lower compression ratio also.... just a warning for you... im not an expert so correct me if im wrong fellas but i believe those were the big differences in the camaro/firebird lt1's and the impala lt1s.......
I bought a newly rebuilt LT1 from a Impala for $1200.00 including everything from injectors to the alt even a new belt.
Please confirm if it has lower compression because I plan to use a supercharger on this stock engine w/head cam package.

if it was for an impala it should be a real lt1 if it were for a caprice it is most likely a l99. dont freak out it is probably a good deal you will just have to deal with iron heads and straight plugs unless you have a good set of aluminum heads to swap over
