lmao! Vince, get those pics up! I'll give you the benefit of the doubt considering your prolly icing your finger

my finger just quit hurting yesterday lol still a little swollen tho, Ill hook up my cord later and post em up!

[DETROITMUSCLE]

Found out yesterday that the cylinder wall is cracked so the block is junk. Looks like I will be buying a new block as well

[JoeliusZ28]

hey mike was the only one that showed up the day i was working on the heads lol.

sorry to hear that jeff

[1BADAIR]

JDP has a 99 ls1 block for $100

[DETROITMUSCLE]

Phil has a 2000 shortblock asm. with 40K for $500 I'm gonna buy it and see what happens, if I catch some good deals it will be torn apart and forged, if not we'll run it for a while and upgrade elsewhere

[Virtue]

dang thats awsome jeff what a steal!

my buddy tim was saying TSP (texas speed) quoted him for a forged 383 assembly with i believe upgraded rods and pistons with arp main studs and head studs for 1900

so im sure you could get a 346 setup for alot cheaper since u'd be useing your stock crank

[1BADAIR]

I would stay away from a 383. A 402 is a much better option

[Virtue]

oh for sure but he is keeping his ls1 block thats why hes going that route

[DETROITMUSCLE]

Yep I'll have to give them a call Russ. I would imagine that crank covers a big chuink of that cost and all, now just gotta get some cash for my birthday

[Virtue]

yeah a crank is upwards of 800-1200 alone

def let me know if you need a hand im hopen to go look at some houses here soon in the next couple weeks!
