WTB: LS2 bare Block
 
Wanted to see if any of you guys have a spare LS2 block hiding under your bed. Let me know.

Thanks

Vince, sorry I don't have a bare LS2 block, but if you cannot find one and willing to go a different route, I have a bare 6.0 iron block. Let me know.:woot:

Vince I did this hunt a few weeks back. Seems the resleeve guys snatch these up quick! Best I found was eBay $400, scored/damaged sleeve. You'll see them on Craigs on occasion as well. Good luck!

Thanks Guys,

Well we are getting closer. looks like it will be close to what Texas speed sells a short block for. only hinge point would be shipping. Search continues.

I have an iron block...use it for mock up.

How much are you looking to spend? New ones are around 1000 plus shipping on gm parts direct.

I bought my new engine from Texas Speed. If you can wait a few more months they may be running a "free shipping" deal near the end of the year as a Christmas Special. That's around the same time I bought mine. They normally do it every year. It saved me a few hundred bucks.

yeah I was going to go that route but it would nickle and dime the hell out of us with all the small parts. Think that last tally was 11,5.

Ok. Original post was for bare block. I saw Ron post $400 for a block with a damaged sleeve and figured in the end maybe you could have a new bare block for nearly the same. Good luck with the hunt!

thanks brian, i'll take what I can get....rons engine? link please....nothing came up on search regarding.

here is what I found on CL near me...

http://detroit.craigslist.org/okl/pts/2511807543.html
http://detroit.craigslist.org/wyn/pts/2506924772.html

and then eBay...

and elsewhere...

http://maryland.freeautoshopper.com/...till-runs.html

otherwise you could check also with someone like Thomson Automotive but probably similar cost to Texas Speed.
