I was racing the SCCA National T1 race today at Phoenix International Raceway.

On lap 23 and starting her fifth race season, and at race mile number 11,005 my faithful old power plant succumbed to horrible and sudden internal hemorrhaging.

I have seen some pretty good deals recently. I think I need to avail myself to one of them.


Thanks,

Oli

swap your oil pan in, and it should be good.

I bought an LS6 crate from Scoggins Dickey last year. Luckily I haven't had to use it yet.
They don't list it on their web page so you'll have to call.

It was rumored that there is a shortage of LS6'S
However a GM Parts rep came by my shop about 3 weeks ago and I asked him about it, He told me there are plenty of LS6's and they will continue to build them. The problem he said was the supplier for the Harmonic balancers went out of business during all of the downturn. And that is why a lot of them have been held-up. I told him most guys I know would be fine with an ATI Balancer

What oil did you favor? That's a lot of race miles.

Olitho

Royal Purple 95% of the time and Mobil One the other 5%.

Oli, I'll check the dealer here, they had a long block sitting on a stand in the parts dept last time I was there and the price looked decent.

96CollectorSport

Was he talking about the $3300 long blocks or the fully dressed $5000 crate motors? I would be curious, because it seems like the long blocks are what they are running out of.

Found a long block for $2775. Oli, emailed you info.

GM Performance Parts Reveals Crate Engines up to 550hp, Smog Legal for Any Car!
By Chad Posted 11/03/09

Here's the big news that GM Performance Parts has been teasing us with for a week or more with sneaky videos on YouTube and other rumors that have been going around: 4 new crate engines will be offered, and all of them are emissions legal for any pre-OBD2 car or truck.

Stay tuned here at BangShift.com for a live feed at 10:45 Pacific time (that's like NOW, if you're reading this news item right as it went live) of the news conference from the 2009 SEMA Show to hear all the details for yourself.

Here's some of the info we have now.

According to Dr. Jamie Meyer and Mike Copeland of GM Performance Parts, the first E-Rod engine package to be made available to the public is the 430 horsepower LS3. Available complete and ready to bolt in, the package will list for just under $9,400, but will likely be available from your local GM Performance Parts dealer for somewhere in the $7,900 range. This kit, along with three others to follow, come complete with wiring harness, ECU, evaporative emmissions components, a throttle pedal (for fly-by-wire control), a mass airflow sensor, exhaust manifolds, and catalytic converters. The only components needed by the installer will be motor mounts, the accessory drive, and an air cleaner assembly, all of which are available from GM Performance Parts and seen in the E-Rod equipped '55 Chevy below.

The other three E-Rod engine packages will be released starting within weeks, and include a 315 horsepower 5.3 LS engine, a 505 horsepower LS7 engine, and a 550 horsepower LS8. Each of these crate engine packages will include the above mentioned components, and will meet all applicable emmission standards, making them CARB legal for installation in any pre-OBD2 vehicle (that means '95 and earlier).

In addition to makeing cars like third-gen Camaros viable in smog states, these engines will also allow builders of "new" '69 Camaros, Dynacorn '67 Mustangs, Cobra Kit Cars, or street rods to get a legal title in the state of California. We can't wait to see how the aftermarket and builders respond. We commend GM Performance Parts, Dr. Jamie Meyer, and SEMA for believing in this program and seeing it to fruition.

thanks but I was actually looking for the GT-1 results and asked because the AZ region`s website said they were putting T-1 in with GT-1.

Wrong one. I don't see it listed on their web page.

Oli........we picked up our Vette LS6 (w/correct pan.....oh yeah.......his last one) just this last week down with Kopp at Superior. He told us they just landed 20 or so LS6's so he has them or will shortly. However, I do believe they will be the CTS-V model so you will have to swap your pan over (assuming there isn't a big hole in it!!)

Olitho

Thanks Steve. I want to get an extra one. I just won two races a week ago on the new power plant. It is the strongest engine I have ever had.

We are yanking our tired motor Thursday. Down 40hp and 50 pts between high and low cylinders.........am thinking an STO build on the old motor........then set aside for when the car gets converted since the T1 C5 is pretty much a dying breed........

Did you know how much HP you could make with this motor with a good build? WOOT !!

LOL!!!
