$1100 more PLUS the conversion kit
Not sure if 3 liters is worth $1300+

They been in busness for over 20 years, so I guess they do something right

Best price so far;
Alumium LS1 (new 5.3 block bored to spec) with wiseco pistons, arp2000 rod bolts and forged rods, stock, new crank.
Want it to handle around 800rwhp

With the right top end, that'll be a good budget boost motor, but if it doesn't have top internal components, I would be careful with the boost required to make your desired HP level.

The Dart heads are supposed to have a thick head/block surface to withstand boost or N2O without warping. I have Yella Terra rockers and custom length harden pushrods. Springs are the stock Dart springs that are supposed to be good to 625 lift
