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.

561/490 is obviously from an engine dyno. What did it put down at the wheels?
Looks like a very cool motor....why ya selling after only 1 race? You obviously put a lot of time and resources into it....

Engine purr's very nicely - It put 464 @ rear wheels on engine dyno at Miller Motorsports Park.

TPIS (pro shop which built the engine) is building a new motor for the car, that is significantly more powerful. TPIS is a sponsor of my race car, and the point for that motor was just to run the National Championship race, and then in the off season install the new motor. So it's no longer needed. :-) Which means someone can get a 50% discount on a very nice motor. Figure new you could spend close to 12-13k on the motor alone, another 1k on the LTCC and coil packs, a few hundred on a new clutch, another few hundred on a aluminum flywheel, add headers and y-pipe and before you know it you're easily over 14K... When I say it's pretty much turn-key I mean it, we're included the programmed computer as well. So the buyer gets one HELL of a tuned engine too.

I figure $7k is reasonable for motor, and all that stuff going with it..
