Crate engine completeness Hi there, i'm new to LS1Tech forum and also just learning V8 American heritage . I'm currently running tuned 2JZ-GTE (from Supra) FI engine at 20psi with 500hp and 700nm of torque, but after several strikes from it this year i decided to switch to an NA power. And the only option i see is LS series engines, which are modern and reliable.
I'm about to order a crate engine from Summit or JEGS (actually Jegs's price is better) LS3 376/525 but cannot undertsand what exaclty do i need to order to run the engine, apart from the engine itself.
Here is the link - http://www.summitracing.com/parts/na...9233/overview/
JEGS http://www.jegs.com/i/Chevrolet-Perf...1360K/10002/-1 (comes with ECU kit and an oil pan)
So i assume i also need to add:
- alternator
- starter
- engine harness and ECU kit (LS 376/525 HP Engine Controller Kits 19259261)
- power steering pump?
- accessories and belts?
what else?
I will get clutch kit and T56 later, i will order it separately.
Thank you in advance.

Assembly does not include any electronics
Why not piece something together? You could get a much nicer motor for the same price, possibly less.

These engines cost more but they're also complete turn key packages, make more power, and are built with forged rotating assemblies.
