Default The engine is here

I like buying NEW $1500 engines. Any worries I had about buying a take out engine are gone. This thing isn't even broken in..... yet

Davis Salvage, Corbin, KY. Found on carpart.com. Shipped to my door. They had a couple more. Not as nice.

As far as I can go until I get parts. Went this deep to replace the rod bolts and putting in the cam. Katech/Ligenfelter style rod bolts going in.

Anybody need some pics of anything in the bottom end of a LSx?

How about pics of changing out rod bolts when they get here?
