Default WTB: LS1 or LS6 Block

Any LS1 or LS6 block will do, any year is fine.

I only need the block, no other parts (I already have basically everything else), with the exception that I might be interested if someone has the stock front/rear covers and oil pan (don't care which car they are from).

Thanks!

Aluminum only please. No blocks from blown (i.e. "my piston came apart") engines unless damage minimal!!! Thanks.

I'm in northern NJ. Got any engine covers (valley, front, rear, pan)? I'd prefer a '99-up actually, but a '98 can be honed 0.005 safely right?

To bad you are in NJ I have a nice clean block, I have had it at 2 machine shops to see if the walls are good, they are fine to be honed to .10 over pistons. Out of my 2002 CETA. It is all disassembled and cleaned ready to go.

I've got a 99 block with 48k miles with a scarred wall from a piece of a valve breaking off. I'm not sure if it can be honed or not as I have no means of taking it to a machine shop but it's got the oil pan, front timing cover, etc still on the shortblock. If that interests you, PM me.

I have a 6.0 iron block with very low miles out of a truck. It is bare with only main bearings. 300+shipping.
