FS: TPIS Racing Engines - 561hp/490 ft tq LT1 for sale - F-Body Road Racing and Autocross Forums

Hey everyone,

I am doing away with my new (1 race on it) TPIS Racing Engine. TPIS is building me a new motor with more power and torque.

So this means a great deal for some lucky buyer

TPIS will be sending me the build sheet from the motor but here's the highlights of whats for sale

Basically you would be buying a Turnkey race engine

383ci LT1
561 HP @ 6300rpm
490 ft/lb tq @ 5700 RPM (Over 400ft/lbs @ 2800rpm)

The motor is VERY fresh, having only one race event on it. (USTCC-GT National Championship Race)

Included with the motor:

LTCC Optispark eliminator Ignition w/coil packs ready to rock and roll
Tuned and programmed computer.
Canton Road Race Pan
Ceramic coated shorty Headers and custom Y Pipe to clear the oil pan. (my headers are included, but I recommend LT's instead)

All engine front dress (alternator, power steering pump, ATI dampener, Electric Water Pump) tensioner as well.
throttle body
mass air
custom intake elbow
Used with still much life Racing Clutch (sintered iron) by Spec.

$6999.00
(shipping is NOT included of course)

Not only is this a powerful motor, it runs perfect. TPIS did all the tuning work. This is a pro-built motor, which won't have any of the Optispark headaches to deal with.

Motor is in car still pending a buyer, to make moving the car in/out of garage easy. Once I have a buyer we (read as Alan Blaine) can get the motor out fairly quickly.

I did the LTCC and motor install in Kens car, I'd be glad to answer any questions. I also have a complete Hooker ceramic coated long tube header / custom Y pipe to 4" race Flowmaster exhaust system that would complement this motor nicely. And BTW it's an LT4 Some pics: (IMG:http://www.blainefabrication.com/projects/2009_08_21/IMG_2953.JPG) (IMG:http://www.blainefabrication.com/projects/2009_08_21/IMG_2955.JPG) I fabbed coil brackets for the STB, hung the coils from STB to cowl: (IMG:http://www.blainefabrication.com/projects/2009_09_25/IMG_3002.JPG) This post has been edited by Blainefab: Nov 6 2009, 09:18 AM
