Arrow thinking of selling my lsx parts???

well, im on the fence on selling my lsx parts.
i have lsx block, needs to be machined and cleaned up a tad from sitting, but block is good. have the crank, 10 pistions, cam, solid roller set up etc.
need rods and heads and you have a 8 second motor ready to go.
ive been holding onto it for a while thinking i was going to put it back together but i dont think im going to. i had a blast running the car last year with stock power and cant see myself going nuts on a race set up any time soon.
should i sell it? i could tuck the coin away and use it to put a down payment on a new sled. lol

let me know, and let me know if your interested in the parts.

I say keep it and finish the build again. It seems lately you have to sell stuff dirt cheap to get ride of it.

i dont see myself touching it for atleast 2-3 years if i do it at all. by then the stuff will be sitting for 5 or 6 years.
id rather sell it some what cheap to some one who is going to use it. rather then watch it rot and take up space in my garage.

im on the fence here.
guess if some one wanted it and offered me the coin id sell. if not i guess i would keep it.

that said, if you want it, its not for sale. i wont give it away tho

If there is even the smallest chance you are going to start another build i say keep it. If your luck is like mine you will end up selling it dirt cheap then when you get ready to build again everything will be priced sky high.

I would keep it. Thats what sucks on selling any engine parts if you have to almost give it away to someone to get rid of it. But if you rebuild it and try to sell it you will probally get less out of it. I went through that with a motor last year. Good luck Brad if I win the lottery in the next few weeks I will buy it.
