to tell you the truth i wouldnt trust ebay or the people selling complete blocks, you really gotta get it from an experience shop or one that has good reputation, but i wish you all the luck with your build.Nice wheels by the way, are those bogart ?
we bought the block privatly even though it was on ebay we talked to the guy for a real long time he really knows his stuff and also builds 4-5 motors a month. and never woulda paid for it if it wasnt good. were still goin to hav it freshened up but its in excellent condition as is. and no the wheels r actually jegs lol 119 each lol theyll do the job for me
buying the entire front brake assembly of an ls1 to do a conversion spindles rotors calipers hoses and all for 250 picking them up wed. and i found a set of greg weld dragstars 15x3.5 with new tires for 350 getting them over the weekend. need to finish cleaning the garage before we do anything with the motor
