Doesnt sound bad, but then again I haven't bought a LS1 crate engine. That will fit in your car;)

Re: Hey F-body guys
 

its pretty much just a regualr ls1 then, right? the hp is about right but the torque is down from what a factory ls1 would make. i would prolly go for it though. its cheaper then a ls1 from gm too.

Re: Hey F-body guys
 

or you can find an ebay engine or junkyard engine for half that price.

hell, 4 years ago I got an entire 19,000 mile longblock for my car from Bruce Auto parts for $2800 delivered. assembled engine, intake to oil pan, plugs, starter included. you can find alot of the misc parts on the forums

Re: Hey F-body guys
 

i personally would not spend cash on a crate engine... there are two people in RPM who bought their complete running cars for that much. you can definitely find a wrecked car or just a drivetrain for 3000ish.

also check out one of my favorite websites:
www.tacreationsusa.com

good stuff there.

Re: Hey F-body guys
 

I forget how much my engine was which had 8k on the odomoeter

Re: Hey F-body guys
 

Yeah that seems a little high for what it is. I've sold numerous engine, trans, wiring, and pcm LS1 combos for around $3000 for an auto or $4500 for a 6 speed and they all had about 30-40k miles on them.

Re: Hey F-body guys
 

Keep in mind, it is a new crate engine with no miles for 4500. Yes you can get decent used ones for alot less too and with low mileage.

Re: Hey F-body guys
 

You can nearly build a fully forged engine with ported heads and a cam for that much.... Seriously.

Re: Hey F-body guys
 

ill have 1 very shortly for dirt ass cheap :hi:

Re: Hey F-body guys
 

Just got the gears turning inside my noodle...there's a certain black coupe that's begging for a really nice engine...

Re: Hey F-body guys
 

if i were you i would seriously consider getting my hands on slinky's longblock... perfect for a race car. get a good cam, pistons/rings, TH400/glide, spray, and you are set for 10s... and all for what you were going to spend on that crate engine.

Re: Hey F-body guys
 

Nowhere near ready to buy yet...still in the research phase

Re: Hey F-body guys
 

I give you the greenlight to your plan :D

Do it!!

Re: Hey F-body guys
 

Get a 99, 00 or 01 PCM and I'll do the tune...

Re: Hey F-body guys
 

i have a heads/cam engine with trans for sale in the for sale section.

Re: Hey F-body guys
 

all of you fbod freaks...

hands off the merchandise.

mr. bennet does not need any influnce other than getting him to put a strong 302/gas combo together.

Re: Hey F-body guys
 

Ha ha ha :D

Re: Hey F-body guys
 

BTW, just saw a low mileage (<30K) heads and cam LS1 sell for about $2000 on a local forum.

Re: Hey F-body guys
 

or he could get 1 dirt cheap from some guy named slinky

Re: Hey F-body guys
 

yea I know that guy, I heard he was gay, you know, into the atm and stuff

Re: Hey F-body guys
 

Ha ha ha ha.

Re: Hey F-body guys
 

Oh damn.........

Re: Hey F-body guys
 

awwwww shit ATM ftw .. bringing back old school

Re: Hey F-body guys
 

But why do that....when a N/A ls1 will do the same... :D

Then just add gas....and watch oh mr mo get nervous wit hiz cute wittle 302 ;)

Re: Hey F-body guys
 

last i checked...

i was single ;)

Re: Hey F-body guys
 

To answer your question, no it is not a good deal.
