streetrodengines question?
I want to ask the members if anyone has dealt with this company? I really have no time to build a motor, with all the bodywork thats needs to be completed, hense looking for a complete package deal. The above company has this add on ebay, I checked around and the company seems to have a good rep.

If it comes with the wiring harness and PCM (which are pictured) then I think it's a decent deal. I would ask however if the harness and computer are indeed included because although he has them pictured, he makes no mention of it in the description.

An alternate route would be to buy a used LS2 T56 combo and send it to a shop with the same 10grand you could have some extra power, you can find those combos all day long on ebay for 3 - 5grand

I know of somebody who purchased a LS6+
T56 from them. They are very happy with it. They recommend the company.

Thanks for the reply's on the ls3 combo, I have also been doing some checking on their reputation and all seems good.
Trapin, I emailed the guy and this is what he said was included in the combo:
"This setup comes with the computer and wiring programmed ready to run.Comes with alternator and power steering, your choice Z28 or Vette accessorys. Vette has alternator up high and the Z28 has the alternator down low. It comes with the Z28 pan which is the most user friendly pan you can get, however if you are using the stock engine crossmember in the car you will have to get the pan cut to fit (Aftermarket will clear). On the dyno numbers look up LS3 Dyno to see some charts, with long tubes and a big cam you can get over 500 rear wheel and with the weaker F1 cam around 480 rear wheel. With the bigger cams they will not start pulling hard until 2500 or so."
I am going to call them later in the week and get a build sheet with options.
Thanks for the help. 4MUSCLEMACHINES, what did they put the motor trans combo in if you do not mind asking?

It's going into a 70 Chevelle. The guys at Touring Classics recommended the company to me.
