LS-7 Motor??? On ebay

LS7 was a crate motor only available over the counter.. GM never put one in a production car. But Motion Performance did. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

anyway, 3000 bucks for a grimy old crate? You can buy a brand new motor for that that's probably got more ponies.

Assuming it's a legit LS-7, that seems like a pretty good deal to me.

What crate engine could you buy for $3k that would put out more than that?

I agree Rob, a good LS-7 for 3k is a deal, but the more you read the description, the more i wonder if it's any good... "Before using this I would completely go through it, check clearances, replace bearings, seals, and gaskets.This item is sold as is with no warranty or returns" Sounds like he may know more about it than he's telling?

Very true. But, that's a good idea with just about any engine buy. We learned that lesson the hard way on an L-72...

Yountto did you see the car you mentioned in person? Is it still alive? I would love to hear about that car. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

Dont know if this questions been asked but is it safe to assume all LS 7's are stamped CE on the pad or how did they did they handle that? Just wondered [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif[/img]
