Found an LS1 blueprint engine for $3500 however it doesn't come with Intake, valve covers, oil pan, timing cover, and harmonic balancer. I am not sure if some of those can be kept from your original engine like the oil pan but if you can you could have a lot more HP and FT-LB thanks not going to break the bank. Even if you can't keep any of those things that the LS1 doesn't come with that would be a great swap. Kind of makes me look forward to my 2.7l eating sh** so that I can swap it for the LS1. Agreed?
