      WIW: Drop in Turbo LS motor for A bodys, ready to run.

      I am looking at selling my motor to get the funds to build a different motor. I have all the parts necessary to build the motor, I just haven't put it together yet. I am going to either part it out or put it together and sell it to someone looking to do an turbo LS swap. The motor will be complete with the turbo, intercooler, piping, stand alone wiring harness, pedal, and sensors. The only thing that will be needed is a exhaust system (from the turbo down), fuel system, motor mounts (or I will provide custom ones) and to be put in.

      The motor:

      2007 LY6 iron block, decked, align honed, bored, and honed with a torque plate
      ARP main and head studs
      West Coast Cylinder Head stage 2 CNC ported 821 casting cylinder heads with aftermarket stainless valves and PSI beehive springs
      Ported truck intake, truck fuel lines, with FAST 60 Lb injectors, LS7 throttle body
      Yella Terra 1.8 roller rockers (cryogenic treated)
      Fabricated valve covers
      Cometic MLS head gaskets
      Wiesco turbo pistons with coated skirts (cryogenic treated)
      SCAT H-beam rods (cryogenic treated)
      Stock crank turned .010 (cryogenic treated)
      Clevite H series teflon coated main/rod bearings (cryogenic treated)
      Durabond coated cam bearings (cryogenic treated)
      Mast VVT SS cam (cryogenic treated)
      Brian Tooley Racing SLR lifters (cryogenic treated)
      3/8 Chromoly pushrods
      IWIS timing chain (cryogenic treated)
      Melling 10296 oil pump
      Milodon oil pan with pick up, baffle, and billet dip stick
      Stock GM VVT setup w/ restrictor installed
      MSD wires
      Truck coil setup

      The Headers:
      Custom fabbed GM A-body turbo headers, drivers side located turbo, carbon steel, ceramic coated
      1/2" milled flange, 1 3/4" primaries
      4-1 collectors
      2.5" crossover tube
      V-band on the crossover tube

      Black CX Racing 31x12x4 intercooler
      Black 3" welded intercooler piping w/welded bung at throttle body for MAF



      Turbo setup:
      Turbonetics billet wheel 75/75 .96 turbo
      JGS 60mm BOV
      JGS 60mm wategate

      Stand alone wiring harness (3 wire hook up)
      E38 ECU (with tune for this motor)
      Pedal for the harness
      required sensors (MAF, Oxygen, etc)

      I have not added up the cost of all of the parts, its just what I have for the setup. At this point I have not built it, I am not sure if it would be worth it to build it or just part it out. What do you think this setup would be worth? Is there a market for a complex setup such as this?

      So hard to sell complete engines. If you haven't assembled it yet, it would probably be better to sell it off piece by piece. I've had terrible luck finding folks with enough cash to buy any of my builds. Maybe your luck is better.
