Default LS2 And C5R Block Special!

Hello All.

Just an FYI. This month our LS2 blocks are 916.50 + actual shipping charges! Our C5R blocks are 6300 shipped!

Give me a call. It's a great deal and we have them in stock!

Can you find out if it is possible to put the LS1/LS6 valley cover in place on the LS2 block? It would be nice to know if the knock sensors can be retained in the valley, eliminating one wire splicing issue, or if the new oil passages in the LS2 prevent this.

Thank you.
Todd

EVEN though i went silly and spent the MEGA BUCKS for a C5R block, it is still HARD for me to comprehend, how this is so darn expensive and $5500 more expensive than a new LS2 Block!

They must have a ton of R&D cost to recover on sales of blocks. Block should be in the $1500 range. Or can someone explain the difference?

C5r blocks come with billet mains and stud kits. Plus they are pressure tested for racing. A lot of technology in that block.

There are no core charges with these blocks. The LS2 requires some sensor extension wiring, but other than that you're ok.

Happy Thanksgiving to all.

We now have received a large shipment of LS2 intakes. The least expensive price I've seen is 249.99 shipped.

From now until the end of the month we'll do 239.99 shipped.

We are open Friday. If you call Friday please call after 10 AM as we will be short staffed until Monday. Call and ask for Jeremy as I will not be back in the office until Monday also.

Thanks and have a wonderful holiday.
Gene
