Thumbs up rebuilt LS1 shortblock

LS1 shortblock, just rebuilt by a well known race engine shop. New ARP rod bolts were installed when it was rebuilt. Standard bore. Standard crank journals. Engine is still at the shop in Dallas. $1500. My direct email is js1379@aol.com.

Who built it? That should be a good deal for someone. I just spent almost that much for a similar motor and I supplied the motor to rebuild.

The shortblock was rebuilt by Watt at Watt's Shop. He built a new engine for my son's car. The original stock shortblock wasn't used so I decided to have him rebuild it for Johhny and I to use as a spare. That's why I had him install a set of ARP rod bolts. The trouble is I really don't have anywhere to store it along with my other "stuff". The price is a real barain, especially since you can always sell your old shortblock and recover half the cost of my rebuilt shortblock.

I will vouch for Watt. Thats who built mine and he has built a few other non LS1 motors for me in the past. I know of more than one shop around town that sends all thier block work to him.

Good luck in the sell. I told my little brother about it but he thinks he will have less in his piecing it together himself. I told him good luck with that.

Good luck is right, I have close to a thousand dollars just in parts and labor.
