Default F/S: LS6 Shortblock

This is a rebuilt shortblock using a seasoned block with 7k miles out of a T1 car. Block was machined and tolerances checked. Cylinders were honed to accept forged Diamond 2cc pistons (3.905). Scat forged rods are used along with the stock crank which has been polished. ARP hardware is used on rods and mains.

Engine was built by Mike @ Rapid Motorsports. Build sheet provided. The engine is still wrapped in protective plastic as it was shipped from Mike. It even comes with a nice plastic shipping container which cost me $80.00.

I'm asking $2500.00 firm plus shipping. This is a good deal considering what I have invested and Mike's reputation as an engine builder. Do a search!

I was going to put this in my car with a 150 shot but I've lost interest.

Bump for the best deal on a forged N/A LS6 Motor built for N20, by a TOP engine builder with a STELLAR REPUTATION! If the motor was built for a cent. supercharger and not N20 I would of bought it last week!

TTT for a smoking deal!

I am no mechanic that's for sure; however, I looked into this specifically as I would have probably bought the motor, but it was built for N/A application and gap settings on the rings are too tight for a supercharged application, which needs looser ring gap settings to accomdate the heat caused by a supercharger. Otherwise, the piston rings will utimately be damaged from the repetitive heat caused by a supercharger.

However, for a N/A application or even a good shot of N20 this is a perfect motor and a KILLER DEAL, and I did my R&R and the engine builder who built this has a TOP NOTCH reputation here and on the corvetteforum!

Do your homework folks before asking questions like "What would the piston to valve clearance be?". Anybody asking a question like that doesn't need to be in this hobby!
