Sounds good. I'm glad it went to a good home. I'll subscribe to your build thread so I can follow the updates.

Me too :D

So what is the story about the Ron 001 stamped on the block. I assume the Ron on the block is you?

Forum sponsor Travis 'Daytonayellaz' was just getting started in the LS drop out business and this was his first motor. He was going to keep it for himself and through our discussions I gained a motor and a friend.

I ended up getting an LS7 and that's how this motor started changing hands. When I got it, Travis had done some block prep and got a brand new Alt (I think). Jason took it to the next level, so you got a good one there IMO.

That's some pretty cool history linking the engine to a few guys on the site. Did you ever use the engine Ron? When you got it did you inspect the rod or main bearings?

[Ron.in.SoCal]

No bearing inspection on my part. I did see it before it shipped out west. Travis told me it had 17k on the clock at the time and did inspect it prior to my purchase. I never did install it, only took it out of the crate.

Jason and I became friends when this motor chaged hands and now you're in the cricle. :thumbsup:

Cool story how this engine has made the rounds around here and the country.

I think the engine may have more miles in shipping than in the Escalade it came out of. Travis is about 4-5 hours straight south of me. It then made it's way to socal, back to west Michigan and now the Pacific Northwest.
