JOSH,
there are a couple guys selling Ls1s and such on HPJ, and dabe92 said he might sell his engine. His is an SS with a cam and thats it. I think he said $1500 for the long block?

for anyone thinking about doing an LS1 swap, you wanna try and get a good/great deal on a high mile engine, cuz rebuilding is not necessarily cheap, especially on earlier blocks, you cannot bore them out too much; normally not recommended to go more than .010 over. most of the times they have to be resleeved, or a new block purchased, which is about $1000 either way. thats not to say a v8 with that many miles won't run, and even run well, but it is at the end of its life.
i mighta wound up with a more stout engine after rebuild, but remember when doing the swap you are better off getting a complete dropout. the t56 tranny alone is 1000-2000 depending on condition, you need all the accessories; p/s pump, a/c compressor, alternator, brackets, etc. a good low mileage combo is gonna run you $4500 to $5500. anything below that is a great deal.

We have this for the back of the shirts for now. There will be a small MSCCNC breast logo on the front. Subject to change, but we worked to keep the design simple.

For reference, I paid $3650 for a LS1/T56 combo complete (including all accessories and ECU). Came out of a 2001 Camaro SS with something link 52,000 miles.
Got it from a yard in Virginia, and it came with a 100 day warranty.

yea i guess i was only looking for ones in the 30k miles range. i saw one with 89K go for like 2800+shipping. it is a life vs. $$$. to me half, or 1/3, the miles for an extra $1000, or so, was worth it. however, it can be done cheaper. hell if you find one blown you could probably wind up with a rebuilt/modded engine for about $4K. i just don't want any headaches for now.
i got one with 32K for $4500 with 6 month warranty out of an 02 T/A WS6(not that it really makes a difference, since the difference in LS1s is negligible).
here are some pics of it. just got it today. i am so stoked.

Example (Does this Pink purse match my shirt?) = Ghey .. Nuff said
You went from being the Allmighty Antivenom " Ill kill any damn viper or cobra I see".
To the 5.7 suuuuuperrrr 7 .
Sorry to drop it on ya like this but you asked and friends are suppose to be honest.
The engine and trans look good and should be a much more reliable and less finiky -sp , but what are you gonna do with all you time behind the wheel instead of adjusting the PFC. you may have to get an x box for the car.
Just don't do the 5.7 thing maybe ls1 would be better.
Good luck

i agree. i was leaning towards not doing the plate. 1) not too big on personalized plates 2)its not really an RX anymore 3)that is 4 votes for the ghey. 
thanks for the honesty, if i ask i wanna know the real deal.
oh and it is still an antivenomous car, since it is GM powered, and not ford
