That's insane, unless you *have to* have an LS9 to say you do (or a replacement)! I remember the 2nd ZR1 vette's (~1990) mercury marine (LT5) engine was supposed to be like $35k or something. Not sure how true that is though, but bet it's not cheap, either.

Jee, for that kind of money, I could buy/build a monster big block that would put out far more power w/o trying and man could you imagine the sound

[I know, would be hard in a newer chassis]

21k wow. you can darton sleeve a ls1 and build it with fully forged internals and some bad *** heads for under 10k. and have money to buy a F1 series procharger and that would add up to 21k. and would be stronger and make more horse. GM is gettin over on fools lol
