I am trying to see if it is worth fixing the LS1 on my car, or selling it as essentially a 'roller' with an engine in it, due to needing lifters and cam, and getting an econobox (Fiesta ST).

It is a 2000 M6 hard top, ordered with NO options (has crank windows, no power anything, and not even a rear window defroster!), the A/C is out of the car to the dash stuff.

The (black) paint is decent for a car with these miles, and it has;

Pro 5.0 shifter

Koni DA fronts with GC/Eibach coil over conversion (650#)

Koni SA rear with Strano Vogtlands (150#)

Strano 35mm hollow front bar with UMI alloy mounts, 1LE 21mm rear bar with ES mounts

ES endlinks all around

Random Tech adjustable torque arm (but stock, trans mounting point)

Turn One pump w/alloy pulley

Ram aluminum flywheel, LS7 clutch with Tick Performance clutch speed bleeder

3.73s with Eaton carbon clutch pack Posi

LT1 radiator

Odyssey/Die Hard group 78 AGM battery

Sparco model 383 suede steering wheel installed on a Momo 2401 hub

2 sets of wheels, both 16x8, with almost new street tires mounted (BFG Comp 2s/Super Sport all seasons)

any thoughts??

GOOD LUCK in finding an alloy blocked engine in a junkyard, especially around here.

I would attempt to pull the heads and cam myself, except that my HOA does not allow work to be done on your car (or even have the hood open!) in the parking spaces, or even in your OWN driveway!

It is a $50.00 fine the first time, with a $100.00 increase for each incident after that, and the elitest little turd Nazi spy who reports this is ALWAYS driving around the development in his Honda CR-V. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/angry.gif)

So I am FORCED to go to a shop and be raped/ripped off if I want to keep driving this car. (I have been quoted upwards of $1600.00 for labor ONLY, before parts!) (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

It IS still running now, but who knows for how long if it is a spun/collapsed/broken/roller missing lifter??

You can also hear it from a block away, so as far as anyone buying it is concerned, it is in essence a 'roller'.

I called them and they have a couple hundred LS1's sitting on the shelf. Complete with Fbody accessories and wiring harness for $3k. I don't know if you've ever pulled an engine from these cars or not, but it's really easy. Can't you rent a garage or something?
