That's the reason for the thread. :jester The seller has added to the ad that he has been advised by other ebayers that it is a L98 engine! :bb

Quote from seller:
"this engine and trans are very clean and original.no leaks put your distributor in drop it in your hot rod and go."

:eek: :eek: :eek: Looks like it’s been sprayed with a fire extinguisher or something!

So......the seller has modified the add indicating that this is an L98 and
not an LT1. Since he/she took the previous owners info at face value
for the engine type, I wonder how confident he/she is that the engine
has 23k miles experience ? Someone has actually bid $700 + bones......

:iagree: Then how does the seller know how many miles are on the engine if it has already been in two vehicles? Just by looking at the air cleaner shows they had modified it to fit in another vehicle! :confused:

From the engine configuration it looks like it isn't from a vette. The exhaust manifolds and the thingie in the top right of the engine are a mystery to me.
