Subject: RE:[1992 LT1/MN6] My Engine is dying... by bogus on 2007/11/22 20:01:41 Well... my research has been disappointing. I have another thread going on LT1 balancing issues... no one has replied <sniff>. However, there are three shops I have called, and they all remove the flywheel and mate it to the transmission for sale, not the engine. I haven't figure that out yet... worse yet, they get ignorant with me when I challenge their logic - or lack thereof. I am willing to learn something new, but jeez, when $1500+ is being thrown around, I ain't that willing. I called a vendor out here in the LA area - and get this - they want $2700 for a long block, with accessories, harness and computer!!!!! And they don't offer a bare long block! for that kinda coin, I can get a new motor almost... which leads to the next issue... All crates I have found are $4k on up... GM no longer offers an LT1 crate... They stopped that a year ago... I learned that from Skoggin Dickey, before the pecker head hung up on me... I am leaning towards a Camaro motor... but I am nervious, considering how abused they can be. |
