I bought an ls longblock for $200. Rebuilding it w/ upgraded internals for under $1500
Really, you can get much better deals buying usdm engines.

Depends on the power you want to make and how youre tuning it.
My ls has rods, pistons, headgasket, head bolts, valve springs, retainers, blah blah lots.
