Well its been quite a while since I have seen many of you. Hope everyone is well. I am changing careers and am buying an Allstate insurance agency in June. Unfortunately this change will be eating into my play budget and I want to sell my C5Z. I recently had all of the performance parts and ls7 pulled out by 21st century and would like to offer the parts locally to you guys before posting in the main forum. I still need to clean them up for pictures and such but they are all in pretty good shape as I only had them on the car for 10k miles.
Is anyone opposed to me listing my parts here first instead of the main for sale forum? I'd much rather sell locally if possible.
Built and balanced 427 LS7 by Kim Barr in Garland, TX 12k miles 545 RWHP 525T
This engine is a beast, quick to rev with plenty of power for my C5-Z. It's never seen the track and was well cared for. The only thing it needs is the pan gasket replaced as the original installer didn't get it sealed up. Not much was spared as you can see from the parts and work listed below. I probably have 7-8K in specialized parts and labor on top of the engine cost. The project got away from me! Sorry for the long post.

Your car was a BEAST for sure last time I saw it.
Good luck with the sale and the new business venture !
I have a friend that just moved to Plano from Vegas and is wanting to do some bolt ons for his 03 Z06. I thought I remember some of you speaking highly of someone out that way. Would you mind letting me know his contact info?
