That's what I thought, but I just figured that since people were still asking, the sale fell through... I can always change the above to read " The block is sold you illiterate assclowns!!!" LMAO....

^ They just refuse to read the thread.
I got another one last night... Guys, I can't reiterate this enough, PLEASE READ THE THREAD. If you are interested in an item at bare minimum please read the description and look at the price.
I also save the amazing responses and questions I get from people in a Word Document. I lost part of it when my computer crashed, but it has been growing rapidly recently.

I only have the L92 and LS7 front cover. The L92 front cover does not have the cam sensor and I am not interested in seperating the LS7 front cover without the rest of the dry sump components. If they don't sell I will end up using them down the road if I can ever build an engine for my car.
Responded and sold. I'm sending you tracking info now.
I can't seperate the 1.7s from the heads as the heads are milled to use the rockers. Are you interested in the whole rocker system or just the 1.7 rockers? I have access to acquiring the other eigth 1.8 rockers that would make a whole set. I have some extra shafts, bolts, and a stand that could go with it. I was thinking of buying them and having some stands milled for the rockers to have a complete set of 1.8s. If you're interested let me know.

^ LS1tech started to fail to amaze me about 3 years ago. Now, there's very little from this site that gets any sort of reaction.
I'm waiting to hear back from one member about my 93. If they don't want it I'm going to offer it up for parts in this thread. I need the space and the money wouldn't hurt either.

^ The rockers that are on the heads are included in the price. They're seriously badass rockers. Here's some information on them.
From this thread: http://m.modernhemi.com/forums/showthread.php?t=452872
Nice to see all of the interest in our new shaft mounts for the LSx engine family. The delay in the introduction has been the tooling for the new polymer-matrix composite bearings. Well the bearings just came in yesterday and we are completing the paperwork (instructions, packaging, etc) and hope to start shipping in a couple of weeks.
Part #'s are 144809-1 for the 1.7 ratio and 144808-1 for the 1.8 ratios. There will also be rockers available in 1.75, 1.85 and 1.9 ratios. These rockers feature the polymer matrix composite bearings in place of needle bearings. The PMC bearings are pressure oiled via the pushrod and a drilled pushrod seat. They are extremely quiet and extremely strong. The rocker bodies have a very low moment of inertia (partially achieved through the elimination of the steel needle bearings) and can handle open pressures in excess of 850#
These rockers are not direct "bolt-ons", because (in our opinion) it is nearly impossible to get a good rocker geometry with a true shaft mount rocker on the LS1/LS6/LS2 head design without head modifications. To achieve the proper geometry and get an improved "Quick-Lift" performance, it is necessary to mill the rocker arm bosses .170" so that the rocker stands can be placed lower to allow the rockers to operate in the proper arc. This is really no different than machining the rocker bosses on old SBC heads. Additionally, while the heads are being machined, we have supplied 3/8 diameter stand mounting bolts which necessitates drilling and tapping the OE 8mm holes to 3/8-16. This larger bolt diameter assures holding the stands in place even with extremely high valve spring open pressures! In spite of the milling, we were unable to fit these rockers under the stock valve covers and they will require a 3/4" thick spacer. The rockers will not be sold with pushrods but they will come with an adjustable checking pushrod to determine proper pushrod length. My guess is that 7.350-7.400" will be the length that most people will need.
As far as pricing goes, I'm in R&D and the sales people figure the pricing, but it is my guess that the "retail" price of these shaft mounts should be well under $1000.00: however, I have an agreement with the sales people...they stay out of R&D and I stay out of sales!!!!
As soon as I know what the pricing is, I will post it.
Finally, the way I have described the rockers and stands is with a machined and tumbled finish. (both the stands and rockers are a special alloy of aluminum). We will also be offering these rockers and stands with a Mikronite processing that will increase the strength of the rockers and stands by over 25%. This provides additional strength beyond what I have all ready described. Additionally, the Mikronite finish looks superb. It is not a coating, but a sophisticated finishing process that results in a "chrome-like" appearance but which also increases the residual compressive stresses in the outer layer and near surface substrate of the aluminum-vastly increasing strength and longevity.
We feel that these "Quick-Lift" Shaft mounts will be the ultimate rocker arm for the LSx family at a price well below what people currently think is the "ultimate shaft system".
Again, thanks for everyone's interest!

I am working on making another parts for sale thread right now. I will be adding a few things out of my garage and parting out what is remaining of my 93. When the new thread is finished I will post a link to it in here.

Here is the new thread with quite a few parts added to it. https://ls1tech.com/forums/parts-cla...b-surplus.html Please address all questions to that thread as I will be removing the subscription from this one.
