Did you buy the complete short block from Texas speed of all the parts and assemble them at home?

Care to share the prices?

 

The short block was built by Texas Speed.

 

This.

 

Not much new to report, gathering parts. I got all my GM stuff, sensors, gaskets, head gaskets etc. This will be 100% new, nothing off of the current motor. Well, not all new. All the covers I pulled off an extra 6.0 block and media blasted, washed and painted and cleared. My oil pump is in the mail, Ill be running LS9 Valve covers and coils, going to paint the valve covers (most likely Candy Red) Here are some random pictures.

 

Ignore the seal, I just put a random old one in to keep paint off seal surface.

 

What color is that?

 

LS9 covers, eh? What is different about those vs the LSA?

 

One has an A the other has a 9.

 

Cast Alum with 3 coats of clear.

 

I tried clear on a few engine pieces. It yellows over time. I would sugest against it
