Right from GM they wanted 6k for it, and it would have taken a week to get there…Well, they did some more local searching and ended up finding a local long block that was in a ware house for a few years…well since it was there for a while, they sold the Long block for 3800.00…catch is, it was a left over LS6…NOT the 405 hp one, the 385hp rated one…The 01 LS6. John knew, Bret knew, and one of my other friends knew, but that is all. When I was getting gas today off exit 8, a northstar tech approached me and asked me how the new motor was running…I said very well, I already have over 400 miles on it…He said yah, you made out on one hell of a deal with a dealership covered LS6…At first, I was planning on never saying anything so I ground off the 243 numbers off the head to destroy the evidence about a week ago lol…The car only has the current old LS1 factory tune in it, so the motor has ALOT more in it, after a good dyno tune…that is all. There we go Not that it matters, who gives a fuck its not thatm uch “better” than a stock LS1 from what I understand. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/put-28s-on-the-ss/254347)._
