LS3 shortblock scratch in cylinder
Im thinking about selling my ls3 shortblock. The block was purchased new last year. The engine has less than 20 miles on it, It has a stock ls3 24x crank, lunatti rods and Mahle pistons, custom pat g cam and morel lifters.
The bad: while breaking in the engine it dropped a valve, the damage is only in one cylinder. The cylinder isn't cracked but it has a scratch in it that boring it to 4.080 wouldn't fix. I bought a stock replacement sleeve for it but I didn't get around to breaking the engine down.
I came across a deal on an erl block at the time so I built an a different engine and the only parts I reused were the oil pump and timing chain and front cover. What is it worth?
