Jeff I can't seem to build a NA LS motor for less than 15k, let alone a blower motor...

Well, in the previous post you seemed like you could do it. Here is the crate engine. http://www.crateenginedepot.com/LSA-...10805C556.aspx

Just another $4205 to go! I am sure you can do it! I will be nice! You can hunt around for the parts and build it as post in this thread. You need a bill of materials and estimated labor costs. Although, I don't think it can be done for $15,000.

Jeff

Take a deep breath Jeff. Relax, ok?

Where exactly did we come up with a 15k limit for the OP? Tommycomfort (great guy) did a detailed costing of a L92 install and it came to 14k and he did the work himself.

My comment was simply to point out the delta is not as drastic as you made it out to be.

I can't believe anyone would take a 12.5:1 roller 383 and replace it with an LS motor.

Man that sounds like the right mill no need for the LSA.

Give Fairway a shot. Usually they are cheaper then my wholesale account from Summit.

Your going to get jacked on shipping either way.
