$4199.95 plus shipping.

Pretty cool if you ask me. They are Corvette long blocks judging by the headers, so that means they are 4-bolt mains. Its like finding an Antique in the attic.

For that much money they can keep them. I'd go $3250 max.

I remember somebody finding 20 or so LT5 motors tucked away, that was cool but they wanted around $12,000 each for them or something like that.

Thats cheap for a LT5, I seen 95 LT5's run like 20 large. Insane.

someone pulled a "noah's ark" and kept 33 of them just in case the world ends. starting the new world with the LT1 ruling the new streets was their plan

This kinda reminds me of Mad Max.... "The last of the V8's!!!"

well, he never really mentions they were vintage 90s motors. just that they were crate LT1s. so couldnt they be new, fresh motors, from GMPP?

Its possible, because I know they were selling 4-bolt main blocks not long ago for a decent price.

cool find, but 4200...I better have a computer and harness with it, with serp set up.

slasherbarb · 01-24-2008, 09:29 PM

pfft...for $2700 more you can get a fully worked 383 from Golen engines rated at 480 bwhp...not worth it i think

Damn LS3's are only $6200. http://www.crateenginedepot.com/LS3-...2-P1897C0.aspx

Like stated rather buy a LT1 stroker for that outrageous price

then the LS series engines came out and he felt no sense of purpose

33? wow. That's a lot to find laying around. 4200 is a bit steep though. That reminds me of the guy a few years back that found a garage full of old muscle car crate motors and put em all up on ebay. I think it was a garage full of Ford 427FEs, Chevy 427s, and I think a few Mopars. Does anybody remember that? It was like over a million in factory crate motors that were left abandoned in a garage after some distributor went out of business in the early 70's and all the crate motors were left in some garage.
