You can damn near get an LS7 for 13k.

Can you imagine the sunburn working on it in the sun? jk, It's nice looking, but, like others said, I'd probably grab a higher powered engine package straight from the factory for that cash.

wow what didnt they chrome on this motor

I highly agree with the price not being ideal. However, the amount of effort somebody went through to do this is tremendous and the payoff was not half bad. I've helped a friend of mine polish up an M62 supercharger housing for his 2.2 Ecotec Cavalier. That alone used up an entire 100+ piece Standard Abrasives sanding pad kit just to knock off all of the powdercoat and to get it to the point of being polished with a wheel. Granted, the engine/trans don't have powdercoat on them to begin with, but that's an insane amount of work.

Regardless, I prefer go over show at this point and would drop the money into modding the hell out of any LS block really.

Nicely done, but $11,999 8-O8-O

Looks like someone took the T-101 from Terminator and took it through the garbage compactor. The only difference is the T-101 can't go that fast when bolted to a car...
