WTB: ls1/6/2 block

I am in the market for a ls series block of some sort. I'm not looking to spend huge money so if the shortblock has a spun bearing or something it's ok, as long as the cylinder walls have no damage. Would ideally like a ls6 block or ls2 but I know they are a little more pricey. Really just looking for bare block but I would take a shortblock if the price is right. Please send PM's w/ what you have.

Naa, not interested in doing this, thanks though! C'mon I know some of you have unused blocks in the back of the garage!

Dont rule out the 5.3-5.7, same thing aside from the cam bearings. Machine shops usually only charge $10 per hole for the bore.

I know this, just don't want an iron block.

Thanks saw that on ls1tech, I want to try and avoid an iron block for the moment but if I can't find a good deal on a ls1/6 block then I might be forced to go the iron route.

I'm not sure of the weight difference but I have heard ~70lbs, if this is true that is a pretty big weight difference.

Pearland, Not really looking for a running ls1 unless it's dirt cheap, looking for a block or something that needs a rebuild because it's going to be a forged 347.
