355 tpi..forged..built by JSperformance..$2000 - SOLD

[nj85z28]

Had this built late 2008 by Josh at JS for my Monte Carlo SS which I have since sold. I was going to put the engine into an IROCZ or something similar that needed less body work than the monte..but plans changed and I got a 4th gen SS. I'm sure Josh remembers the engine and can answer any more technical questions..as all I really know aside from what he gave me on paper..is that it made my Monte SS FAST.

******Price DROP***********

I'm looking to get a t56 swap setup for my Camaro and found one complete in Rochester. At this point I dont plan on using the engine for anything so for it to sit regardless of all the money I will lose I would rather see someone use it!!

$2500

and that will cover my t56 parts..so I'd be happy as hell with that. I can also deliver it.

my loss is your gain...if anyone is doubting whats in this engine you can call Josh over at JS I'm sure he would be able to verify as he built it.

[nj85z28]

cmon guys..great hardly used engine here for a fraction of what it would cost to have built...

Any dyno sheets or quarter mile runs to indicate power level?

Unfortunately no. I never dynoed it or ran it at the track. To be honest I rarely got to drive the car when the engine was finally done. It was done in January 09 with snow on the ground and I lost my job a few weeks later. So it basically was driven around in the summer just a few miles a week if that. Then I bought the Camaro in December so it sat for a few months before I pulled the car apart.

I will PM josh at JS and see if he has any idea, maybe he can chime in here.

[nj85z28]

$2000????? any takers??

[nj85z28]

cmon....somebody. please

[79camaro]

[Adam1978]

hmm i was thinking about going 454 in my 78, however why stay old school when i can upgrade! how easily would a comped engine go into a classic all mechanical car? ive never done anything like that, all i've done is changed trannies a few times haha, also do u have any ballpark figures for hp/fpt?

[nj85z28]

PMs sent to 79 ad adamn1978

[JSPERFORMANCE]

Steve, post up the cam card so all the experts can have an idea of what kind of power this engine makes.. Its a good runner as is but can still be upgraded to make more power if desired..

[nj85z28]

The Camshaft is

Howards 110245

Valve Lift- .504/.504
Duration 280/292
gross lift- .336/.336
Degree @ .050 222/230


and if someone wants to trade me parts + cash, I'll take some LS1 parts. SLP or Spohn. Not interested in any gen 1 sbc stuff..

Also not interested in people who like to waste time.

[nj85z28]

still a great deal! cmon somebody!

[nj85z28]

would entertain a serious offer..this is really just being wasted at this point. someone take it off my hands!

[nj85z28]

BUMP Wasting space!! Drop it in your car and GO

[nj85z28]

BUMP Someone!!!!

Just curious as to why you stayed with the smaller valves when most people go with the bigger ones....

dont know anything about engine building so as to why..i dont know why. but i can tell you that at the time the plan was to change the heads and intake manifold down the road, so the heads are probably very mild

[nj85z28]

Ok have had a couple guys offer to put down a deposit which is cool with me, but still no cash in hand so its still available!!

[dpmalibu]

How much HP/torque do you think it made? PM me your # thanks
