Motor - Buy or Build

By purchasing most of the components on ebay I was able to buy a MY 2000/01 aluminum block LS1
block $600 (new)
two complete heads with valve $275 (new)
complete intake and injectors $300 (new)
crank $150 (new)
cam $15 (used)
pistons rods rings $275 (new)
lifters, oil pump, water pump(new), oil pan, rocker covers, rockers,gaskets,covers misc parts $200 (used)
Computer (used), harness (new) and spark plug modules (used)$325
Total $2140

Rebuilt T56 six speed $1050
Clutch Flywheel shifter (new) $175

Took me about 2 months to get all the parts

Another option to think about.
 
Hey redmist what are you going to do with that and how in the heck did you get the car to 2800lbs!

weight weenie

The ls1 combo is going in a 1977 (pre-cat) BMW 530i as my daily driver.
The weight savings list is a long one. Since the list posted previously, most of the bolts have been replaced with titanium and aluminum, seats replaced with super light racing seats, seat belt assemblies replaced with 4 point harness, center console and e-brake replaced with lighter units, unused wiring removed, alarm system horn and wiring(why a horn with no alarm system?), seat belt buzzer, rear light brackets, remaining brackets trimmed and ground, excess bolt lengths cut.
 
How much for the block, casting numbers, what condition?

It's your decision....do you want #'s match or power?
@#$%^&the #'s and go with power!
 
Needless to say I agree with inferno. The C-3 is a great looking unique automobile in a world of bland. For less than the price of a new Hyundi you can make it a one off monster and get your money back if you ever tire of it. Go for it.
