So the initial buyer backed out and is going with an Iron Block. Because of our agreement, I am keeping half of his deposit. I am also reducing the price after many inquires for separate pieces because I don’t want to deal with taking pieces/parts out. I already had to reassemble it to get a video of it running which was annoying enough. So here is the update LS1 $1100 you will get a long block with a bare Ls1 intake and a truck oil pan. Motor is stock besides MLS gaskets- nice dual valve springs and comp hard pushrods. No accessories/sensors (video of it running below) Turbo Kit $2700 turbos, manifolds, downpipes, IC plumbing, FMIC good for 1300 chp, cold pipe with dual f'tial Bovs, dual gates, dump tubes all clamps and couplers, oil feed and drain lines $4500 You will get the full pull out with tuned ECU, harness, injectors, accessories. Everything To answer a few common questions I have been getting -why am I selling? Because I enjoy the build as much as the end result. I will happily use the turbos next year to go for 1000whp, but would not mind trying a single China 88mm either (paging Chad:p). As for the motor, I know I’m on borrowed time-and she wont hold 1000whp -yes, the turbos spin free and have zero shaft play -yes, I was hard on this motor and it has made more power than any true Ls1 to date. Could something be hurt/bent/chipped? Sure, but the motor is prices accordingly IMO. When I installed the MLS gaskets about 2 months ago, the pistons and cylinders looked perfect. I can tell you it runs, has good oil pressure, and does not smoke. Bare Blocks sell for $500. Add in the heads, aftermarket dual springs and hardened pushrods and you’re already over my asking price -no, I will not pull anything else apart. I simply don’t have time with 2 young kids and a demanding career. Here is a video of it running from today. Offered will be entertained but likely shut down. Will consider trades for STD more 5.3 or 6.0 pistons/aftermarket rods, valvetrian parts, and freakishly large turbos.

List the pros and cons vs. a Tahoe/Escalade Nav? Roof? Entertianment packege? Also is towing capabilites a concern?

WTF? That parking job looks intentional.

AWD dyno FS?

$100 shipped. Whats your paypal?

Yup. Good to 23psi here...

Can you get that with a V8?

Love it!! I assume/hope the clack in the video is a lifter tick?

Less stroke=less force intot the rod. Also the 4.8's have massive first ring lands. You need to rev them higher to get the max HP, but its eaiser on the rod to make 1000hp our of a 4.8 than 900hp on a 6.0. (considering the application in loan of ft/lbs over rpm)

*grabs popcorn*

He had it listed for sale?

Thats not supprising. Few people putting 30+psi to 4.8 and 5.3 SBEs

1) Great pics! 2) Is the orange peel in the paint really as bad as it looks in pics? I've seen oranges with a flatter surface. Jesus!

Looks like Brian's dyno

Cbus car?

DAN Buschur has always been the one to do the trans work. He like others has grown tired of David' attidtue and is on his own. I would 100% trust Dan to do my trans. https://www.facebook.com/Dan-Buschur-Buschur-Automotive-732821046806127/

What is there to think about here? If it was local-I'd buy it and eBay the motor parts seperatly, and likely triple my money!

Good luck. IMO, taking online classes to further your education in pursuit of a better paying career may be a better long-term option with this time commitment. but, thats just me.

Was not my intention. More than few people have mentioned looking for an alternative local LSx expert level shop, and I was just offering that alternative.

Longer I believe. Their website needs a refresh, but I think they opened their doors in 98/99. Than kind on longevity in this business with basically zero advertising means somthing for sure.

Saw this coming. I am shocked it lasted this long after their last expansion. I have said for YEARS that Backstreet Performance performance builds a better car, and offered a better tune than IPS. Since Mark's car is no more, the fast car on CR Ray, has been going to backstreet for years. Its about an hour for most of you guys and would make a great fill-in for you needs. http://www.backstreetper.com/

Im with these guys.

You should but that mill in a Colt.

Yes, real deal holy field LS1 I have a million inquires to hear it run, so when I get my injectors back I will toss it together enough to fire it up!

Clean-very similar to truck manifolds. If my junk sells, I will buy
