thanks guys, I have a lot to think about know that I have heard all of your opinions. I still believe I am going thru with my idea just to see what it will do, I will probably start in a couple months when I get everything in order, and yes I plan on doing it myself, being at the top of my automotive technology class.

 

i think its a good idea. experiment around, have fun

 

I just bought a complete long block 6.0L from Jon Barrett Racing for $1600.00. It's a completely new engine with intake manifold, throttle body, and harmonic balancer. They even shipped it for 172.00 to my door.

 

WOW!! thats freeking cheap

 

That's incredibly cheap! Do you have any contact info?

 

I went to Jon Barrett and found a few things, no 6.0L for $1600 though.

 

They sold me the engine through Ebay but from what I understand they get these engines all the time. Apparently they purchase large quantities of engines directly from GM so they get good prices. I have to say the engine delivered to me was exactly as described. I spoke to a guy named George. He handles the ebay auctions. Give him a call if you are interested in an engine 800-342-6015. Just so you guys don't think I am BSing you here is the link to the ebay auction. Oh and by the way the shipping as previously posted was a typo. They shipped it to me for $127.32 from OK to GA to my door.

Ebay Auction

 

I sure hope their engine building is better than their spelling and grammar.

 

Fun Guy,
I asked them if they assembled these engines and they told me that they are purchased directly from GM. Don't know what is up with the grammar

 

I was considering the same engine from John Barrett, but it is the older one for use with the 4L80E so I had to pass. Are you running the 4L80E sierrac3?
