Sold LS7 Crate Engine

[cook_dw]

A friend of mine bought this engine back a couple years ago at an auction which was in a 55 gasser in the 70's. All owner history is there and long story short this thing might have had 100 miles on it. But unfortunately from it sitting for 35+ years it needed to be pulled down and gone through. This is the process I am going through to this point.

Engine is complete and running again. Will sell carb to oilpan, balancer to flywheel for <span style="text-decoration: line-through">$13K</span>$12K or long block (minus intake and carb) for <span style="text-decoration: line-through">$11K</span> $10K. You can see and hear it running in person before purchase. Headers and bellhousing are not included. Engine is located in Lebanon, TN.

Here are some original 70's pics of the LS7 after being balanced and blueprinted after receiving the crate engine from GM.









I completely tore down the engine inspected and thoroughly cleaned everything. After sitting for over 35 years.
















The only issue that I found was one broken inner spring. Replaced with Crane 99893-16 springs

Crappy video but you can again see and hear the engine run on the engine run stand before purchase. It was never installed into a vehicle. I can also get a better video is anyone is interested.

Thanks Bentley and a friendly bump and price drop. As I said before I can get a better video if there is any interest and you will be able to hear it run before purchasing.
