Rebuilt 2003 LQ9 FS with upgrades

[Bowtie70SS]

I have the original engine out of my SS for sale. The short block is completely rebuilt with Mahle forged pistons and cracked cap connecting rods with ARP bolts. It is bored .010 over and I was told will have 9.75 to 1 compression with the stock heads. Here is a list of parts included and condition:

Short block: 0 miles Completely rebuilt with new pistons, rods, rings, bearings, balanced.

Cam: I ran it for 3000 miles in this engine Comp cam .640/.640 227 115 lobe sep

Lifters: New morel ML2148H-16

Heads: Stock 317 with Patriot springs(3000 miles on springs) with TI retainers and 10 degree locks and seals. Heads have 55k on them

Timing Set: 0 miles New billet double roller

Oil Pump: 0 miles New GM (I still have to pick up)

Pushrods: Stock 55k miles

Head bolts: ARP Used 3000 miles

Rockers: Stock GM 55k miles

NO coil packs or stock intake, accesory brackets available


The crank pulley has been drilled and pinned but not installed at this piont. I have all of the original engine covers, the stock oil pan, manifolds, valve covers and water pump. At this point the short block is wrapped in plastic in the garage...just picked it up last week. The engine is not put together (short block is) but I would be happy to assemble it if somebody is interested in it that way. Other wise I may consider parting it out (short block as a complete unit though). I do take paypal and I will mock it up, put it on a crate and drop it off at a shipper although we'll have to work together to find one.

I am looking for $2800 which I believe is more than fair. PM me and I can give you my phone number if you want more details

How much for just the short block?

At this point I'm trying to sell it complete. I have 2 others that have expressed interest in the short block, and I may end up parting it out that way but I wanna give it a little time first. I will also accept a reasonable offer on all of it.Thanks.
