So a while back I bought a LS1 block that was decked and honed to 3.905 for 625 shipped. To my untrained eye the block looked great and it was a great deal. I'm trying to get the build done and my builder got back to me and said it looks like they used big shots of nitros and broke #7 sleeve. The seller repaired it but the block was too damaged and craked, they tried to pin the crack but it was a **** repair and won't seal. also #4 main cap fell out when he unbolted it. I can get a new LS6 for 750, but I've also gotta get it machined. I'm hoping someone can help me out and has a GOOD LS1 block that I can get for less than 750 to offset the cost of getting it machined. I know the chances are slim but it wont hurt to ask...The guy I bought the block from hasn't been online in almost a year, I'm trying to contact him...but I'm not optimistic.

I hope everything works out for you, I hear misery loves company so here is one for you. My dad bought me a "350" for my car when we moved to Oregon so I could pass DEQ...turned out the shop that did the install and swap put a 305 in its place and a few years later when I went to put new hi compression pistons and a cam in it the pistons were too big. Couldn't do a thing about it
I hope you find a good motor for your rig.
Have you tried contacting B&R auto wrecking down on Columbia Ave? they seem to sell a lot of pull out motors, maybe they could do a deal for you.
