Hey guys, Been awhile since i have gotten on here. I finally got my built long block back from the shop. It is not assembled but everything is machined, balanced, measured and ready to assemble. Im getting married in almost exactly a month. So i am considering parting ways with my engine. It has carillo rods, mahle race cast pistons and all the other goodies to go along with it. Everything but a girdle. I dont want to get to far into details unless someone was honestly interested. Im divided as to whether or not someone would want it not assembled yet and assmeble it themselves or have their engine builder assemble it or just do it myself. My thought is that if i bought an engine i would want it in exactly the state mine is in.. completely ready to assemble that way i know for sure what is in it. I really want to just assemble it and put it in the truck but i know it will be a long long long time before i can afford turbos injectors and cp3s to make the power its built for... then my trans will need refreshed. just not sure how far i want to go down that rabbit hole. So if someone is interested in a good deal on a fully built lb7 long block then message me lets talk business. If no interest i guess ill slide her in after the summer and just hope santa brings me go fast goodies.

You say long block... are the heads stock or have they had some work? valvetrain stock or beefed up? Old crank? if so, how many miles? Checked? How so?

A more complete list of parts and what all exactly was done at the machine shop may help. :thumb:

I was trying to see if there was interest in it before I did all that lol... I'm heading to dinner with the wife I will type up a build sheet tomorrow... it's her birthday today. If she catches me on here someone will be getting it for free after she's done with me!
