So, I tore apart my LT1, and it looks like it'll need a little machine work. Its not ruined, just some wear. So, I'm trying to find the most economical way to finish my project. I figured to machine the block and heads to like-new it would cost me about $400, then add on price of gaskets, seals, etc. I was hoping to find a long or short block for a decent price, but I dont want to spend $1600. I'm wondering if anybody has any good sources, or knows anybody with a low mileage LT1 priced reasonably. Or if anybody knows of a reputable machine shop in the south jersey area I would appreciate it.
