PS:sorry for the multiple forum posts. Just wanted to get as many opinions as possible


Ok. I just bought this last nite. I didnt see it in the day. I paid 250 for it. It is a 90 LS longblock minus-Dizzy and alternator. The only thing that was said to be wrong with it was that the head had burnt valves. I really only wanted a working block anyways. But what has me concerned is that there is some rust in some places and the vavlve cover isnt bolted down and in general i just am not sure of the condition. The had is gonna be taken off today and ill post more pics when that is done. I am just looking for a general review of what I bought. Was it worth it??? I can take more pics if you need to see something else or whatever. Thanks

Eventual plans are: Rods(already bought) Pistons,bored a little,b16 head,turbo and a uberdata setup

 

pull the head off will take like 5 minutes out of the car like that could have been left out if you building the block with all new parts don't worry about it unless the cylinders are rusted or something

 

Jesus $250 for a beat-to-**** LS longblock..

To each their own.. Best luck with the build..

 

if your gonna tear it apart and rebuild it then it shouldnt really matter. just dont cut any corners on the rebuild

 

250 was a little much for that. i paid 250 for a complete swap at a u pull. i sold the tranny for 250, and the clutch flywheel for 50 bucks. oh well... good luck on the rebuild

 

yeah its being rebuilt by rob the owner of b20vtec.com All new bearings and a hone. Crower rods,srp psitons. That should be done by hopefully january. I just bought a obd1 conversion for my crx and I am in the process of buying a uberdata chipped ecu with datalogging and a wb02.....than gotta think about the turbo setup.lol....oh well should be fun. All of you will be updated as it goes along. I am gonna use this post to keep the updates. So i can see what i started with.haha More to come.....

 

hey as long as the block or the head isn't cracked your good to go. just rebuild and kick ***

 

yeah i would not even worry about it,do the rebuild on it. now if you were planning on just slapping that motor in your car AS IS then that ll be a different story

 

5 dollars shipped, i wil paypal the money right now
