WELL...it came today... MY LS1 MOTOR!!! Also got my motor mounts and crossmember in the other day. It came very very fast. It was dropped at a terminal in Maryland on monday and got here this afternoon. SOO HAPPY!!! Its a 2000 block and its got a spun crank bearing due to a pinched oil pickup seal that was messed up from the factory. The guy got it from a dealership that pulled it from a corvette.

[Mr. Luos]

I think I would be more worried about the lack of heads.

thats sweet, That will be awsome with a 3ed gen with a ls1 i saw it befor, but not close up really. Can't waite to see it done.

[92zcamaroperson]

yeah need the heads and intake manifold and little stuff. I want to take the block to a machine shop before I go piecing stuff together. I think I can just have the crank turned and it should be good. The block has 20000 miles on it. Do I have to hone the block to put new rings on the pistons?

[Mr. Luos]

Spun crank bearing?? I recommend a new crank. Just in case.

[97cavalier]

if you tear it that far down, mide as well do all of you performance work now on it.

[92zcamaroperson]

you dont think jsut having it turned and polished would be good? Shouldnt throw off the balance or anything..

[92zcamaroperson]

1000 for a new crank isnt going to happen. If I can find a nice used stock one ill get it but I dont think I have anything to worry about if I just get it turned and inspected.

Do I have to hone the block to put new rings on the pistons?

[Mr. Luos]

Depends.
Machine shop can tell you more than I can.
If you can...take it to an LSx type shop. The LS1 isn't your typical SBC and some guys have had problems with just ordinary machine shops not being 'picky' enough when building.
