i thinks its a VERY good deal! go for it mate, everyone with a v8 is in denial! they just hate the fact that those extra 2 cylinders do nothing but slow down there take off!!!!!! AHAHAHA

are you retarded? lol a stock v8 has more power than a super6 lol.

3.8 L Supercharged ECOTEC V6 – 171 kW
5.0 L V8 – 179 kW

and yes that price is pretty decent for the motor. although, are you doing a transfer, or do you keep your old motor in that price? if you dont keep motor, thats not a good deal. roughly 2.5k fitted for that motor at my wreckers.

lol. yes, that is true, they do have more power. but, a standard l67 will beat an ls1. you have to remember, a standard l67 is only like, 4-6psi? run 17psi, intercooler and other little things, and even a very good 8 wont stand a chance!! inc. the price of the engine, i got ALOT of other performance parts, it cost me $5,500.00. an ls1 has nothing compared to that, and they are still around 3-4k.

haha, i may be a lil retarded :p

what 1/4 time do you think an ls1 with the mods you listed woul do?
my mates l67 does 12.5sec.
and im pretty sure that TERAFI does 10.79 do you think an ls1 could bet that with the listed mods?


anyways, back on topic! buy the engine, it is a good deal, especially with warranty!
